You keep using that word… (a note on “bullying”) http://wp.me/p2XSBU-dN
@pastyjerk "$person is a jerk" does not inherently incite imitating behavior. can't hold a person responsible for other's actions like that

@attritionorg in terms of individual behavior, it's still wrong to be a jerk if the recipient is not capable of taking said abuse -
@pastyjerk if they truly aren't capable of taking abuse, they should be careful where they venture on the Internet. -
@attritionorg why is that a justification, though? Why should we put up with jerks on the internet? Why not try to improve the culture? -
@pastyjerk it isn't "justification". it is advice if, again, someone truly cannot take criticism.
