Post The MySpace suicide case.
I've been following this for a while now, and it's been sad and fascinating to see this story develop. Links and commentary at Slashdot:

Wow there is a term for it "" cyberbullying""... so similar to what has happened even on a forum like this one.

Wow..I can't believe you would compare an adult who manipulated a child who in turn committed suicide with this forum.

I was quoting the term "Cyberbullying" and not that case. Is it so hard to believe that it "happened" here?

There is plenty of criticism of peoples' statements and actions here, which I think is a reasonable expectation in any discussion forum.

If anyone here was encouraged to kill themselves or something similar, I must have missed it. If it ever happens, please send a PM to the Illuminati.
