User:House-Of-Mirrors

This is a test - and only a test.

Boy, I sure had to go through a lot of user names to find one that wasn't already taken. I guess that may mean that two things are true:

1. That the early bird gets the worm

2. That persistence pays.

I have quite a few subjects that I am interesting in - one of which is cyber-bullying - and all of the aspects of that. So, I will be collecting thoughts and notes here for either incorporation into an existing Wikipedia article on this subject, or another about the different aspects.

One of the reasons that cyber-bullying is so prevalent, IMO, is that people at least think they are anonymous. And, as such, they may say or do things they would not do in "real life".

Several interesting phenomena of cyber-bullying are:

- Mobbing

- Cyber Bullying by proxy

- Transference on the net

- Cyber Bullying is really Verbal and Emotional Abuse

- Free Speech vs Verbal/Emotional Abuse

- What can websites actually do about Cyber Bullying?

- Can and do TV and Radio shows influence this behavior?

- Smear campaigns.

And, I think this could also include, the rapid spread of misinformation on the net through Twitter and other means and even Propaganda.

I will fill in more information of the above when time permits.

I wish I knew how to write the word "CyberBullying". Is it one word? Two words? One word hyphenated?
