Bullying on blogs?

According to a post by Iain, tonight he is going to be discussing "bullying on blogs" with RecessMonkey, James Cleverly, Ben Sherreard and Rachel North.

Now I'm intrigued by this subject, because it sounds to me like it's going to be about flaming. Half the fun of the Internet is the flame wars.

The spectator sport found in watching the different warriors engage in battle whilst forming virtual power relationships with each other is better than any Parliamentary bout. Where would we be without Big Dog and Me-Too?

I thought you might pick this up. Presumably Alex Hilton will be speaking up in favour of bullying.

If your found guilty of BIB (Bullying in the Blogosphere)will you get an BASBO?

Perhaps - and then you can wear it as a badge of pride a ' la real ASBO's which don't address the problem either.

There is a more serious issue about how new technology has been used in cases of bullying at school (happy slapping nasty texts etc) which is or real concern.
