This is different from having an argument between two people, and throwing an insult.



I'll read it when I have the time and patience.
That I'm saying is that she was throwing an insult during an argument. I think that, because of that, a thrown insult can be a form of bullying.

This is a forum, open to the entire Internet. Therefore, if someone were to say, "You're an idiot," then it's open for thousands of people to read. If I felt hurt by that statement, then it's possible that I could feel humiliated because of the chance that so many people could read what was said to me. To me, it's the same thing.


LOVE: pass it on
