but when it truly hurts someone it's time to stop.

One of the difficulties with verbal abuse on the internet is the lack of feedback. Unless the victim posts some sort of response there is no way for the attacker to see how her words are impacting the victim. This is why we need to consider our words even more carefully on the internet or in email than in person. It's often difficult, if not impossible, to judge how our words are being interpreted on the other end the line and then even further how they are emotionally affecting the recipient.

"The show will cease airing on PBS on Friday, August 28, 2009 after 26 years on the air." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_Rainbow

duh duh DUH!

Unless of course you added that line to the wikipedia article. In which case you'd be sourcing yourself and we'd be taking your word for it twice.
