As a society, we have largely shielded the internet (in perception only) from matters of bullying, even calling it cyber-bullying to differentiate. It's just bullying. It's what the business students did to me every single semester I taught them, some 20% of the 750 students I was teaching a semester. That's more than 140 people trying to get under your skin at least once every single semester, for their own flawed behaviors. Let's just say, I don't teach anymore. %uck 'em.
