        @sapinker if you don't go to watch horror movies, can you be scared by horror movies? So for cyber-bullying.

        @sapinker Why didn't the piece mention how bullies are mentally ill psychotic (insensitive) Bipolars who should be medicated? Too helpful?

        @dspetro @sapinker You're joking, right? What is scary is that bullies often don't have a mental illness.
