There is a lot of good posting and seriously positive feedback on this whole issue.

There is also a lot of unresolved questions here too.

Bullying in someone's face is handled very seriously,and yet over the internet is largely ignored.I believe this is because the majority of us simply don't take the conversation to heart.We learn or whatever and move on.

The problem I think that arises,what happens when someone we encounter does not have this ability?We all know there are people out there who are "handicapped'(for lack of a better term)that essentially can not leap this hurdle.

How responsible are we for doing things to them over the internet?How responsible would we be if we did this in their face?

Humans are social creatures.We do crave contact and expression amongst each other.It simply is what we are.And the internet has provided and outlet to expand this part of our nature.For good or for bad.

I guess the real crux of things is,which way will we use it?

I agree, if you cant handle someone being mean 'over the internet' maby you shouldn't be on it.

Normally that person won't know who you are, so why would you take any notice of what they say about you?
