Thank you for this. I was bullied (physically, emotionally, sexually, and verbally) both at school and by my stepdad up until high school (I moved away and was successfully invisible during those four years) to the point that I was suffering severe depression and had suicidal thoughts constantly. It took me over a decade to finally get over the feelings of worthlessness, self-hatred and shame over what happened to me (luckily there's free therapy at my college for full-time students, which finally helped me realize just a couple of years ago that what happened wasn't my fault, and I hadn't deserved it). There are still days where it hurts to remember it, but I'm in a much better situation now and I can focus my thoughts elsewhere, and hearing news about campaigns against bullying always makes me feel wonderful, because I don't want anyone to ever have to go through what I did.

I think it's horrible and selfish for the OP to think that if he/she doesn't get full protection against people disagreeing with or hating on his/her ships, then no one deserves help against bullying (okay, he didn't say that explicitly, but he makes it pretty clear that he/she doesn't really care about the way others are treated, only him/herself) That's just cruel, and it leads me to believe that said person has never actually had to suffer bullying in the real world.

There have been one or two instances where someone online has said something "mean" to me, but you just delete it and move on... for one thing, people are more bold online due to their anonymity, and arguing with the person is inviting more emails and messages, sometimes from even more people, into your life. (example: I once saw a forum where a guy was complaining that everyone thinks his bondage furry art is creepy and how everyone is an asshole. I tried being nice to him, telling him that it's okay to enjoy the things he drew if that's what made him happy, but that he had to understand that not everyone NEEDS to have the same opinions he did. I thought he'd understand, but instead he threw a childish fit, complete with extra vowels to draw out words and numerous exclamation points about how un-creepy it was and everyone needs to love it. As you can imagine, he invited a lot of criticism upon himself, and earned himself a spot on Encyclopedia Dramatica very soon after)

Personally, I've been able to avoid online bullying, because I'm in a situation where I can just ignore people who leave rude comments and just remove myself from the situation. In real life, you rarely have the luxury of cutting those people out of your life if they are in your school/family/workplace.
