Really not the place to discuss this

This board is not the place to discuss this subject, since there is so much bullying taking place. There is little respect for conflicting opinions and ideas and a considerable amount of name-calling.
The cyber-bullying is a problem. When images are altered via Photoshop into false images and distributed worldwide, we have a problem. When youths make idel threats just because they think it is cool and they get circulated to parents, schools and authorities, we have a problem. We are way beyond school-yard bullying and taking a kid's lunch money. Everyone on this forum knows the power of digital communications. Everyone on this forum has talks about their rights to download and copy music, copy software, etc. We are now talking about the right not to be intimidated, right to privacy and other basic rights. This is a problem that is far more serious that whether or not Mac machines use Intel chips or if Microsoft is a monopoly.
