Holy crap. I don't know what else to say about that. That's just wrong. Our technology has become our master. We all rely on it WAY too much. If it gets to a point where a 13 year old girl commits suicide simply because a group unknown to her call her things like a whore, then it's getting a little too far.

Saying that, that mob is a bunch of heartless b******s.

I'm interested in hearing what others have to say about this. I'll keep an eye on this thread.

There is only ONE way to stop a Cyb er Bully.


Punching him in the face. Then he'll report you and run to his mommy.



A rather harsh generalization but plausible.

One less moron. Awesome.

I get the vague feeling that some of coberst's musings belong in the conspiracy forum. Or GDF, at least. I fail to see how this qualifies as philosophy, in the generally accepted sense of the word.

Looks like more and more measures are being taken to prevent cyber bullying. Here's a few recent articles I found on it. Seems authorities are mainly focussing on teens, which is lucky for me. I like to threaten to kill people on KMC once in a while. I better cut down on that.

I bet a douche-bag that laughs are 13-year-old girls who are traumitized to the point of suicide, would also be dick enough to post a PM that you "didn't" want posted on the forums. Just a hunch. hmm

I heard this my dad got the report at his job.It's sad, I mean people shouldnt bully others mainly on the internet.Because you don't know if they have problems or how they will take it. This led to a girl dying ,which is sad. Though people cant do anything but there should be something done . Because the girls family lost her,and had to suffer.I scaned through this i know the story.

Bullying in any form away hurts kids that people don't even know could happen.

There's always the option of walking away from the computer, in lieu of hanging yourself. Just a thought.

you get thorns

If they are threathing you then it is consider a crime.The cop that I talked too had said this to me.

goading ppl isnt a crime and a lot of cops, lawyers and judges are seriously skewing the laws and interpretation to even remotely make such a case in regards to cyber bullying

lol acourse not!

i think it is rare to be arrested for cyber bullying.

i mean in my state it may not even be illegal and if it were i doubt it would be taken too seriously..

i mean could you imagine.. some poster from canada threaten to kick my @$$ b/c we were debating and it got heated..

you dont live in canada why are you worried? get out of here and tell us when your threaten in person not on D&D

Clearly the girl has psychological problems, it's not even a story, im sure theres some knife crime or gun crime or a kidnapping soewhere that needs to be brought to attention..

Some crazy girl killed herself from reading some text online? Well? One less crazy person in the world who could have possibly become dangerous to others aswell as herself. Thank goodness my son and daughter have one less mental case sharing there environment.

Wild Shadow

sigh.. the cops and anyone who intrudes on and violates the constitutional rights deserves to be locked up with the same ppl that they arrest..
