Stop Cyberbullying Day
By Bulletz. Filed in Privacy, Safety |
In honor of Kathy Sierra, the Blogher community has announced that today should be is Stop Cyberbullying Day. I am all for it. I read the account of bullying and intimidation that was made public by Kathy herself. It was a courageous attempt at letting the world know that what happens on the Internet doesn’t stay on the Internet. This community is not one that is going to allow intimidation and scare tactics to overrun its halls. We will stand up for our rights to live without fear of cowards who hide behind anonymity.
I am one hundred percent behind the initiative to stop the cyberbullying. I have been a victim myself on more than one occasion. It seems that if you stand for anything, people will try to cut you down. Thanks to people like Kathy Sierra, we don’t have to just stand there and let them do it.
Edited to say that the idea originated here. Thanks for the comment and correction on that

Thanks for posting about this. I’d just like to point out that the Stop Cyberbullying Day originated with Andy Carvin. Here’s his original post on the subject:
