**** the year i started playing eve i got poped in lowsec as a newbie scrub and harassed over and over by the same group of people about how ****** at the game I was. So was that cyber bullying 6 years ago? I argue no but some one else would look at all of the banter I got in my newbie days and say yes.
This is a sandbox game, where hate and greed form and control situations and in many cases some ones entertainment is at the expense of others. Every time some one is celebrating a titan kill there is some one else upset or mad about its loss. The person in loss isn't having a good time but the people destroying his stuff where.
At an event like fanfest the people introduce themselves as their online alter ego's and I use alter ego because I highly doubt many of you enact the same behavior in game and out of game.
So here is a case, Next time I get jumped I should claim that if the pilot blows up my ship I think I might kill myself. Now is that player on the other side of the world now responsible for what I may do, If he mails his corp and his friends a chat log showing, look at this care bear and how he tried to save his tengu, is he now at fault for any of my actions.
If anything is to be changed that won't ruin this game is a simple disclaimer in the eula stating that this is a stressful game and that you should refrain from playing if mentally unstable. Its a game that breeds distrust and power vacuums, back stabbing and cut throat politics and if you aren't in a mental capacity to handle that environment you shouldn't be playing eve online or engaging in any community that has that potential. |

It has to have a minor on both sides, or at least have been instigated by a minor against another minor. Once adults become involved, it is plain and simple cyber-harassment or cyberstalking. Adult cyber-harassment or cyberstalking is NEVER called cyberbullying. http://www.stopcyberbullying.org/what_is_cyberbullying_exactly.html
Well now that that is clarified why don't we start spamming all of the news groups that posted on this on how they are taking away from the real issue of cyber bullying by mislabeling this event and demand an apology to all the truly cyber bullied children in the world. |

On every computer application you have the ability to close it or better yet walk away from the PC. I agree completely and cyber bullying should be a non issue, but that idiot part... |

Yah, gotta agree with you there because idiot removed, the block button would be applied and **** would be copasetic on the Internets but there are idiots out there. See, thinking about this now, catering to the "Cyber Bullied" is anti Darwinism if we just left it alone the problem would work itself out. |
