So what's behind people victimising others on the internet? It is just a reflection of wider society? Is it siciety's losers getting some kind of 'revenge'? Is it to do with safety of anonymity that we feel we can abuse our fellow humans without fear of serious reprisals? What's your take on it?

So what's behind people victimising others on the internet? SOPA and bronies
It is just a reflection of wider society?Sure.
Is it siciety's losers getting some kind of 'revenge'? No, if you'll recall, the nerds got revenge four times already and their scores were settled.
Is it to do with safety of anonymity that we feel we can abuse our fellow humans without fear of serious reprisals? lmao at "DEAR FELLOW HUMANS, U R ALL GARBAGE 2 ME" *flees srs reprisals*
What's your take on it?Just told you, bro.

We've heard from people that are in favour of victimisation, but what about those who have been on tge wrong end of it? I expect they are frightened to speak up for whatever reason.

mostly it happens when people start too many stupid threads, or insist on starting poll threads that have already been done.

feel like there's some distinction between teenagers bullying vulnerable classmates on Facebook/threatening real life harm, and grown-ups having the piss taken out of them when they say something a bit thick/challopy, but i can't quite put my finger on what that difference is.
also kudos to whoever's running this sock into the mire with such tenacity.

Not talking about ILX btw, so sorry to the egocentric ones. Talking about the internet as a whole. There have been some horrific cases.

A softball question. My take is it's mostly done for the pure gratification of exercising power, based in the same dynamic as chickens asserting a pecking order. If you can peck at another with impunity, then you are higher in the order. The internet allows much more impunity than real life, so this behavior flourishes online, especially among those who for one reason or another feel this drive most strongly.

In facultative siblicidal animals, fighting is frequent, but does not always lead to death of a sibling; this type of behavior often exists in patterns for different species. For instance, in the blue-footed booby, a sibling may be hit by a nest mate only once a day for a couple of weeks and then attacked at random, leading to its death.

Some of what I've read - like the abuse on Twitter - is so deranged and persistent that I think the peeps have something bigger to hide - like criminal records, child porn, human trafficking, etc.
