Best line in a cyberbullying interview this week. "Experts in cyberbullying and bullying need to stop bullying each other." Parry Aftab explains, "We in the cybersafety field could learn from this model as well. Instead of taking potshots at each other, we should stop being cyberbullies and bullies ourselves and put aside our egos and decide we have a common goal – protecting our children, encouraging safe and responsible use of digital technologies and empowering all stakeholders." It's not just people in the cyberbullying field who need to learn this - so much of what constitutes public discourse, especially in television and talk radio, is one form of bullying or another.
