Cyber bullying is indeed one factor, though not the only factor in suicides. However, cyber bullying only takes on real life when you expose/use a person's real name or direct hints. Without a real person, it's only an impersonal rant.
Gilly, Tola, Mitwah, D2, Django, Mars, Caribj, and other such Pro-PNC "antagonist" cannot claim victimization because no one knows who they really are. Even if some do, their real names are/were never dragged onto this board.
Dragging in real names have become a more recent (past 2-3 years) means to get at someone because you cannot contest a position, so you bully them into shutting-up by dragging in their real names and attaching derogatory made up stories and outright lies.
Back in the day, we went after each other but was respectful enough to leave personal matters out. Only when people use their real names as part of their profile did they become fair game...and it was limited to their postings and declared positions, eg TK.
The victims are not limited to members. Non-members are also defamed called thieves, fraudsters, scoundrels and other demeaning self-opinionated positions. Their personal life stories (real or made-up) are published here without regard to the fact that they are real souls.
