I do believe forums and websites can already do this without this proposal and no private info has to be given. Since you already own ways to curb cyberbullying why the great push to implement this proposal? The law then isn't a necessity, shed the blinkers and open up the view.
peace
...
Exactly. Haven't people been banned from this site for abusive language?
Again... this is an area of a greater forum that is set aside for those difficult issues that have no simple solutions. If you can't take criticism from an opposing view... then, you probably shouldn't be argueing your viewpoint in the manner you have chosen... right?
If you want happy thoughts where unicorns fart out cotton candy... there are places you can go and talk about meaningless shit like 'American Idol', instead of hot topics like abortion and gun control.
There is a difference between adult behavior that is respectful and civil in debate and that
which borderlines on immature towards an opposing side.
Criticism really has no place in debate because it is not meant to be personal at all.
Just state ones views and why.
AI is not in the debate forum so it shouldn't be of concern to you or others who like to debate.
There are many topics in other the forums... why would you point out AI?
sometimes there are threads on some silly stuff but all in good fun and to each their own
right? I think I have even heard you say this.
who is the judge of what is or isnt slanderous or bullying?
I would like to know this also as far as the law goes
but I would think it may be different for different sites as someone mentioned.
I think it would also pertain to the level of bullying and lies
as far as effecting the victim of the abuse.
Different scenarios have been used that have brought about the proposal.
If you want happy thoughts where unicorns fart out cotton candy... there are places you can go and talk about meaningless shit like 'American Idol', instead of hot topics like abortion and gun control.
I use the "ignore" feature found on many sites and forums. Works like a charm. And if they don't have that feature, I'm likely not going to use that sure for long.
When one is under constant ridicule as the victims of bullies are
and they use the ignore feature, it is still only they themselves that are ignoring.
The rest of the world still sees the abuse, so of course it is still there.
It does not go away. This, as I have read, does nothing to help the victim nor stop the bully.
The bully is not stopped until they are punished and even then some will still continue,
it's a need for them as the cowards that they are.
This law will not hurt the average person, no info need be given out
unless a post is requested upon of being abusive by the victim.
This empowers the victim to stop the bully who will not
want their info given out. The administrator will remove the comment and maybe that bully
will not victimize again knowing the outcome.

That's the thing... it is relative (subjective).
Anyone can take anything and claim it to be hostile or mean spirited. Because someone takes offense... does that make it a case of 'bullying'? If so, who gets to make the call on that? The moderator, the person who makes the comment or the fucking pansie that finds every little fucking thing offensive and politically incorrect?
Forcing everyone to say nice shit... does not make everyone nice people.

Are you are making this the victims fault?
Women are still found to be at fault for getting themselves raped too :?

You say they are all pansies and are in the wrong then? It is their fault for not being stronger?
Do you feel this way about children too?

Of course because to minimize what is happening to others allows it to happen... like rape and child victimization. I'm sure you can see the connection. Cyber abuse is real!

No its called debate. This what we are doing here discussing the topic. You made a statement based in opinion I asked for clarification with questions.
But then you call it bait. Is this what debaters do? No they clarify if they can.
Hopefully you can and will back up your statement
as to why you use the word "pansies" to describe real victims of cyber abuse.
which this proposal is intended to help.
Definition
pansie
weakling; wimp.
a wuss, weak, a word used to insult a person. Also panzi.
a male scared to do anything that a male, or in extreme cases female, would normally do with ease (see also wuss).
A person who acts sissy-like and is not manly enough. Mostly a sissy man.
someone very pathetic and wimpy, generally used as an insult against both sexes.
a sissy
I edited out all references to gay men as that is hurtful and I assume was not your intent
to include.

The comparison is real in that cyber bulling makes real victims of no fault of their own.
In the past rape and child victimization was often dismissed, still is in some places of the world.
And it seems this propsal which would give a victim direct recourse against a bully, while allowing others to keep their privacy, is being dismissed just as cyber bullying is being dismissed when someone calls the victims "pansies".

Yep, 'I couldn't agree more'

Do I understand in that you are agreeing with the entire statement?
That victims of cyber abuse are "pansies"?
It appearssomewho oppose the new law which does not remove any rights
or privacy for anyone other than an abusive bully,
but allows a victim the opportunity to remove hurtful and abusive actions
against them, may have a slightly biased opinion of the victims.
It is this bias that allows bullies to bully both on the internet and in every day life.
It is the basis to allowing hate against minorities or those that are deemed different.
Hate is something we must work against anywhere we find it.

Ding, ding, ding!!! Winning post, right here. It's all perspective how we take words written on a page.
On a positive note, I am thankful that 99% of people in this thread are of the same opinion regarding this proposed law.
That 1% only takes the other side because it ticks everyone else off... I hope everyone can see this so they don't bother arguing a moot point going forward.
I would argue that you in fact had the winning post back there...thankfully I saw the wisdom of this post, took your advice and escaped this twilight zone type thread...escape people...and by the way, the winner of an arguement isnt determined by the one who gets the last word in...
Oh and Jeanwah, that is definately in the top 5 Avatars in the club, really love it

WE no I disagree it is how the victim of cyber bullying takes what is written.
They are real victims not pansies!
If this wasn't so sad it would be almost humorous.
Another person dismissing :fp: this has got to come from not researching what
is happening to others....
or ... what else could it be?
One can only hope I guess that some people will realize the need to help people
who are being bullied.

You are supporting the fact that I should not debate what I believe in? :fp:
You do understand this law is very similar to what we have right here.
That no one gives up their right to free speech or privacy.
That if a post is made that victimizes another, that victim,upon request,
can ask for info of the abuser.
The administrator can ask for this from the abuser,
the abuser does not have to provide it and then the post is deleted.
This empowers the victims against the cyber bully.

I got a different angle on what Cosmo was saying in the 'pansie' line. The point, I think, was that its too hard to determine what precisely is bullying (sometimes). And I think that line suggests that some things said on the internet might be taken in a different context, and a person accused of bullying cant be held liable for another persons misinterpretation of something that was harmless. Kinda like what's going on in this very thread, I think a few people arent on the same page, and interpretation is a grey area.

great post Jonny
That sometimes is really the answer and with cyber bullying it is clear
when there is abuse. We are not talking about innuendo.
We are not talking about off color.
We are not talking misunderstanding or misinterpretation.
This proposal wants to bring help like what we have here to victims everywhere.
A chance to confront a bully with the help of an administrator and if a bully
does not want this the post is removed. It is meant to be a deterrent
and it empowers the victims of abuse.
People are well aware of innuendo and sometimes shocked at off color but
that is not what the victims of cyber bullying are experiencing.
Stop the Hate! ... I just heard a great thing on news radio about this.
It is targeting all bullying as an awareness campaign. It is awesome!
