wow thats it?!?!???! thats BS. cyber bullying is a made up term and even if i were to accept it as a real one that seriously falls short of any cyber bullying case ive seen read or heard. Oki did say he was banning him from mumble.
While I recognise that the younger generation does not yet recognise the consequences of bullying, the fact that cyber bullying is recognised as a crime and can have legal consequences would show that it is in fact not made up.
cy·ber·bul·ly·ing noun \ˈsī-bər-ˌbu̇-lē-iŋ, -ˈbə-\
Definition of CYBERBULLYING
: the electronic posting of mean-spirited messages about a person (as a student) often done anonymously
Seems to be a real word.
Also, if he would have simply banned him, and move on, as it should be, the situation would have NEVER happened. Its the fact he went out of his way, to be immature, and Cyberbully Cauldweller.
It's real, but it's one of those umbrella, catch all, vague, "butt-hurt" terms used by parents of children who are probably wankers to begin with. I'd be okay with it during the very are occasion the bullying is unwarrented and extreme. The term was mainly made up as a result of star wars kid's civil case against his peers... Because he shot a video of himself in the school A/V room, left the video in the camera, and it was promptly found and posted online; as we'd all expect to happen to anyone in that situation.
From that moment on, anything anyone said online that was hurtful to anyone was cyberbullying... Regardless of how much they may have been asking for it.

The lack of sympathy expressed is disturbing...as is the lack of personal responsibility. Being on the internet doesn't give people a "guilt free card" to forgetting how to treat other people right.
Where is the personal responsibility indeed, cauldweller was free to leave the room at any time. Instead he chose to sit there, record the video, and not record what he was saying to them.
I will be the first to admit I lack a lot of sympathy for people, it's not because I'm a bad person, I'm just realistic and see no point in exhausting myself on the woes of people who are undeserving. In addition, I believe in cause-and-effect, if someone is intentionally causing a disturbance then they are clearly fair game for relentless "guilt free" insult... If for no other reason than my own amusement of the situation.
Honestly if he did get his little feelings hurt at any point of that sad and tame excuse of bullying (guarantee he didn't) then he has only learned a lesson in social interaction. "I even told you to practically go kill yourself" and "Piss off" were the harshest words, I don't know what kids are like in school anymore but back when I was in school, that wouldn't even warrant a second thought.
