From a wiki article on "cyber-bullying":
Quote

In September 2006 abcNews produced a survey done by I-Safe.Org. The data were based on a 2004 survey of 1,500 students between grades 4-8.

The results were as followed:

    * 42 percent of kids have been bullied while online. One in four have had it happen more than once
    * 35 percent of kids have been threatened online. Nearly one in five had had it happen more than once.
    * 21 percent of kids have received mean or threatening e-mails or other messages.
    * 58 percent of kids admit someone has said mean or hurtful things to them online. More than four out of ten say it has happened more than once.
    * 58 percent have not told their parents or an adult about something mean or hurtful that happened to them online.


Note the relatively vague reference to ages.

I see all parties involved as ... well, involved. Neither is without guilt.

I don't really think growing the fuck up would make a difference.


*massages well deserved cyber-callouses*

There's a disclaimer in place, you know.

Is there I never noticed ::)

I don't want to go to a site that has to be safe for students between grades 4-8.  I don't think I am going out on a limb to say that others here feel the same

That's why I posted this, as the issuance of a "CLUE."

But will said "CLUE" be gotten by the applicable people/person?

I don't want to run a site that is for minors OR sensitive folks.

And I would prefer not to go to one

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Actually odeon... He raised a good point that I didn't notice before.

Cyber-Bullying is general against the law IIRC. And would likely be against the TOS of this site's Host and most users' ISPs...

Something to think about.

Where's the bullying? TCO calls people names all over the place, people reply. He demands action to be taken against a member who allegedly broke the TOS of *another* site, I point out that we don't moderate this place. There are disclaimers in place, people point this fact out all the time, he doesn't listen but calls those he sees as evil more names, including, in passing, the entire autistic community.

Where's the bullying, GA?

I never said there was. But TCO claims there is, I was going off his assertion (be it true or not). Just posting something to think about.

Then why did you encourage us to "think about it"?

It's complicated.

No, I don't care if you're joking or not. And I can still encourage people to think about something and not care about the outcome :P


God, why don't people understand me?
