I agree that RL bullying is a more urgent and severe concern than "cyber-bullying" (if only because you HAVE to go to school, but you don't have to use the Internet) but even then I don't think the latter should be ignored.
Hell, maybe if we were to have a better sense of justice in schools and instill a better sense of justice in kids as a result, we might have better behaved kids, which may reduce cyberbullying in the process!
EDIT: Also...

So, survival of the fittest, is that it? If someone is weak willed they deserve to die, and the person who took advantage of their weak will shouldn't be held responsible?

Thing is, in practice, we can't make all parents raise their children the way YOU think they should be raised. What we MIGHT be able to do, though, is actually have a better sense of justice in school systems, so as to instill a better sense of justice in kids where parenting fails.

You were implying it. That's close enough.

But you HAVE blamed the people weak willed enough to be talked into suicide online for their suicides, and say nothing about those evil enough to take advantage of that.
That's what I said. Now sure how you confuse "not much I can add to that" with me blaming people.
Now do you have anything to contribute or do you plan on spending your time searching my posts for something that doesn't exist?
