The person can ignore them, yes. However, the psychological torture that these people can cause on others is overwhelming. The person being bullying can't grasp why someone would do such a disturbing thing. I believe in these extreme cases something should be done.Kat Von Bastethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963937697404926442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210648537465444087.post-51054168671148014732011-02-18T17:35:09.018-05:002011-02-18T17:35:09.018-05:00First of all, I love the Pic!

Morality is subjective anyway, but you take away a person's accountability and there is really no predicting what people are capable of. I like to think that people can also be very generous in situations when they are anonymous as well. Unfortunately, we usually only hear about the negative events. Playing Devil's Advocate and posting comments that encourage new ways of thinking can be very beneficial, but just posting things to be mean or rude is a pointless waste of time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210648537465444087.post-25223065217005922302011-02-17T22:19:43.865-05:002011-02-17T22:19:43.865-05:00Weakness may increase your liklihood to fall victi...Weakness may increase your liklihood to fall victim but how does one who is mourning the loss of their child not seem weak? I don't think these cases are a simple as school bullying, like the old saying goes "if you don't let them see that it bothers you, they will stop." Many of these cases are exreme in nature and something more than looking the other way as to be done.LaRieLindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05903814244680482019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7210648537465444087.post-59133821052062599362011-02-17T15:12:38.132-05:002011-02-17T15:12:38.132-05:00People who "troll" are the same ones tha...People who "troll" are the same ones that got stuffed in lockers in high school...Back then they didn't have defense...Now they have a voice whether they remain anonymous or not...But just like the world of journalism, anonymity decreases credibility!
