What do you define as bullying exactly? Where is the line?
I mean, Slate publishes articles all the time that could offend people. This article below just compared pageant girls to prostitution. Another article is basically "Hey EVERYONE! Look at the dumb criminal!"
The point I am trying to make is: there seems to be some sort of notion that bullying is only when kids do it, but when adults do it, its just journalism or free speech. Do you feel like legistative reactions to bullying could in fact then cause overt censorship?
