In reply to the discussion: JESUS CHRIST 'MAY HAVE SUFFERED FROM MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS', CLAIMS CHURCH OF ENGLAND [View all]Starboard Tack
(11,181 posts)50. Maybe you'd like to point out how I am being a bully.
I and my family have been victims of Cyberbullying on DU. The principle bully, laconicsax, was appropriately PPR'd. Other members of that bully's group are still around and continue to smear and intimidate. I will continue to stand up to them as long as they continue or until they leave. I have never been a bully, nor have I ever been a willing victim. We need some serious house cleaning around here and the basement is always a good place to start.
Cyberbullying is defined in legal glossaries as
actions that use information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group, that is intended to harm another or others.
use of communication technologies for the intention of harming another person
use of internet service and mobile technologies such as web pages and discussion groups as well as instant messaging or SMS text messaging with the intention of harming another person.
Examples of what constitutes cyberbullying include communications that seek to intimidate, control, manipulate, put down, falsely discredit, or humiliate the recipient. The actions are deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior intended to harm another. Cyberbullying has been defined by The National Crime Prevention Council: when the Internet, cell phones or other devices are used to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person.
A cyberbully may be a person whom the target knows or an online stranger. A cyberbully may be anonymous and may solicit involvement of other people online who do not even know the target.
