User blog comment:Starke21/to the people on chat when I was.../@comment-4337895-20120329112915

I don't know what Starke or anyone else did, but I'd just like to touch up on a few points here, if you'd take a moment to read my soon-to-be boring and tedious rant.


 * 1) It's not cyber-bullying that goes on in chat, it's people teasing each other. Just because one group has "ganged up" on another due to anger or some other provocation, does not classify it as cyber-bullying.  I myself have been victim to this topic, where over the summer, a great enemy of mine on Pirates Online harassed me into tears.  I, in fact, had several thoughts about suicide.  My point being, if someone's angry at you on chat and yells, that's not immediately cyber-bullying.  If they continue for an extended period of time, singling you out, that is cyber-bullying.
 * 2) The entirety of the community should not feel guilt for any feeling you have experienced due to alleged "cyber-bullying." It is only you to blame for feeling a certain way, whether we influenced by someone's actions or not.  It's like a girl gets dumped, and posts on Facebook "Omg all boys are such jerks!"  It's not the entire male populations' fault that your boyfriend dumped you.  Now, obviously, your boyfriend (assuming you have one) did not dump you, but still, guilting us into feeling "bad for you" gets you nowhere.
