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.

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.

Nice logic bro, shame it's totally useless in these situations.
Of course you could do all that, your offline bullying would probably go up for doing so, but you could definitely do it. Try telling that to a scared and panicing fifteen year old who is being terrorized and hounded by offenders, though. Whilst you're at it, try telling the homeowner pointing a shotgun at a thief that there are a million better ways to deal with the situation.
You are not trying to put yourself in their position, you are not trying to understand them. This is exactly the same kind of MAN UP BRO bullshit that just makes victims of bullying feel worse about themselves.
