is the internet becoming a haven for bullying and ruining lives? what are ur experiences w/ internet bullying?

on the web Peter Coffin has been outed as having a fake girlfriend for 8 months. Yeah what he has said and done is bad but this technological backlash is just not normal for a human being to handle. People are making fake blogs pretending to be him to make him look bad..fake twitter accounts being him..What are people doing? trying to make him commit suicide? I really don't understand how people can be so evil just because there is an anonymity to their name on the internet. It's not just toward people that make a stupid mistake on the internet and say something ignorant like Alexandra Wallace or Jessie Slaughter, but just everyday in the comments section on youtube or even in the comment section on yahooanswers there's a mean, hostile, evilness all around. I'm beginning to think social networking and all this communication through technology is a very negative thing. what are your thoughts? what are your personal experiences with bullying on the internet?
