Why, of all the replies, did you decide to pick on mine? ^^

Regarding the internet, your situation and the one discussed are not the same thing. The guy with no arms can NOT fight back, he's completely defenseless. The people who come on the internet, come at their own risk, we're all equal, we're all free to go where we want and do what we want, this can lead to so many good things...but bad ones as well. No one is in no way more defenseless or more powerful than another on the internet. As for cyber bullying, people need to realize it's only TEXT on a SCREEN and you can't know if the person you tell something to is emotionally vulnerable or not, because once again it's the internet. >_>'

This is relative, perhaps, perhaps not. Another difference between this situation and one on the internet is that in real life you could step up and help that person with all you have. On the internet, you can do no more than just text on a screen.

See above.
But anyway, look, this is just how I see it, this isn't something one can be right or wrong about so...please don't bash me about it, in your mind you're right because like you said, that's how you're made ^_^
