If someone is a member of, say, GardeningForum.com, this person is free to close the browser and move on. When I see "bullying" claims on sites like that, I generally roll my eyes.
I agree. I just don't take this online bullying thing as seriously as bullying offline, in person. You don't have to read crap from someone on the Internet. People are just too fragile in some respects. But you're right. When the real life bullying somehow spills over into the Internet, that's different. Like people posting youtube videos of people in humiliating situations.
