The reason why cyberbullying is so potent is because people who are very shy, not very social, vulnerable and easy to pick on... people like I was back in high school (And still to some degree am) see the internet as their comfort zone and safe place.
Having someone attack your comfort zone is absolutely soul crushing. You're not safe anywhere anymore. People who can't understand that sort of situation don't know what the fuck they are talking about, and should either try to understand what it must feel like rather than derriding victims as weak or just piss off.

Then they aren't taking full advantage of their comfort zone. Get the easy password of the nobhead who's 'bullying' you, and Frape the shit out of him, repeatedly. He'll soon be more upset than you were.
Or sign them up to over 9000 gay porn sites.
There's just a billion ways that cyber-bullying isn't effective, seriously. Counter-trolling is just way too easy, and if someone actually becomes irritated, it just means that they're letting it bother them too much, for lack of better wording. If I'm ever arguing over the internet, I'm probably playing games at the same time, or listening to music, for example. About a one-hundredth of my attention is given to the actual argument. With purposefully illogical arguments on my end, coupled with statements like "you're obviously wrong, just deal with it," "u mad?" and "lol ok," they'll be more angered than you by your passiveness, I guarantee it.
They're not worth your full attention, so why bother giving it to them? Don't think of the internet as your "safe place", away from oh so terrible words. Think of it as diplomatic immunity. If you're more intelligent than them, which 90% of the time is true when confronting bullies, then you'll win every shit-flinging match, if it's just words. If they try to bring it up on school, it should be like "you're gonna get all worked up because of some words on a computer screen? You massive pussy."
Pft. Come to think of it, laws against cyber bullying is practically laws against free speech, seen as though one of the key points about the internet is true free speech. And if their speech pisses you off? You have the right to block/ignore them. Something I think everyone needs to learn to do against words in REAL LIFE.
