One problem I see with cyber bullying in the legal sense, is who has jurisdiction over it? even if somebody knows who is bullying somebody, who does the punishing.

KSAViolet, I applaud your aunt & uncle. While the school punishment seems harsh, maybe that's what it took to send a message to the students. Too bad it was your cousin.
I'd just like to throw one more thing into the equation: cyberbullying someone who's 14-15 is a lot different than someone who's 24-25. But in all aspects, it does add a layer to the being bullied onion.

At the same time, I urge people who are mentally and emotionally impacted by the GC minions to use the ignore feature. I can't say what impacts people on a personal level. I would never tell people to stop coming to GC if they don't like some of the posters. I will say that GCers amuse themselves in various ways and GC is not that important as to let it have a potentially lasting mental and emotional impact on you.
No need to repeat a bunch of stuff that's been said, but I agree with all those who said bringing real life to the Net and vice versa is crossing the line.
