The only reason they are able to say this is because they have no personal experience of it, either through themselves or someone close to them.

People who get cyber bullied don't do so just because they get a load of crap on the net. Usually they have an unhappy "real" life as well. The internet usually serves as a place for them to escape to. Yet when the people IRL find out how to contact them online they loose there only sanctuary.

If you want to gain an understanding of what this experience is like for them. There was an episode of Dr. Who (sure you can find it online) last night. Essentially a group of people were enclosed in a confined place with some kind of alien possessing a person. The possessed person coppied every word anyone said, it even mimiced there voice, our hero (the Dr.) was left powerless because his main weapon is words. And quickly everyone else exibited a group insanity.

The internet is the same in some respects, when you have no where to go and your bombarded by the same messages everywhere. FATTY, UGLY, SLAG, TRAMP! If you still can't understand try mimicing the situation above in a controlled experiment.

I concur, also thats why people enjoy to be anonymous on the internet
