On the cyberbullying thing - I do think there's a bit of a difference between types of cyberbullying. For example, starting a thread like "SALLY IS A WHORE!" is different than starting a thread like "SALLY IS A WHORE, CALL HER AND TELL HER, HER NUMBER IS 555.0812, HER EMAIL IS sallyisa@whore.edu, HER HOME ADDRESS IS 515 Hooker Ave" etc.
If her name and some other identifying information (last name, residence, sorority...something that would make it clear who the girl in question is), that's no different than posting her phone number. It's still cyberbullying. She'll have that follow her, and her potential employers will see it, her family will see it...etc. The internet is a part of our lives whether we like it or not, and when it effects real life (like the job example), that's over the line. I think the problem is a combination of people not understanding the impact it will have (especially for teens and younger kids), not caring, and not facing repercussions. I do hope we get better protection legally from this sort of behavior soon. That might help deter the "I don't care" set from spreading their horribleness.
