I propose that for the last ten to twelve years or so the internet has been a place for those bullied at school or the workplace to hide out and kick back at the system, the individuals, the culture, that has kicked them.

But you've only been on the site for 8 years.

FMF just had his 11-year anniversary. Well-spotted.

If you are just going to attempt yet again to silence those who have an opinion differing from your own, then perhaps these near-constant numerous crap threads in the General Forum is not the way to confront the issue.

Agree to a certain extent.
But the people who did the original kicking are probably loving the internet as it allows them to do more kicking.

I was reading about it last week actually. A young Italian women took her own life because she was the victim of so called revenge pornography. Infact she had to fight social media for the right to be forgotten, it left her with a legal bill of about 20,000 Euro and in an attempt to escape the shame she had to move to another city because what she said on the video had become a meme. A beautiful young women her life destroyed,.

So was this part of your door to door ministry or were you just researching "revenge pornography" as part or your downtime?

I have little doubt that mental illness is the main reason she's now dead and that the circumstances are simply the circumstances ~ a context, a frame of reference, and a predicament that in most cases does not lead to a loss of life. How many women around the world committed suicide on the same day as she did without any circumstances surrounding their death that might have sparked news coverage? Meanwhile, how many women around the world were being bullied online - in comparable circumstances - before, on, and since the day she committed suicide, and yet they did not take their lives and never will. We should not underestimate the key role that mental health plays in almost all suicides.
