I really dont think I'll ever become immune to the undeucated hate posts online or to the fact that websites that like to call themselves "reputable" allow these posts to be published allowing idiots who have such little going on in their own lives - that all they can do day and night is say how much they hate everything and everyone online. I feel so sorry for these people who post lies and hearsay and say they got the details from a "reliable source" believe you me 100% of the time the reliable source is someone with a grievance or its from sir walter mitty ie.the poster themselves in la la land. Seriously I think there would be less bullying and depression in teenagers and adults alike and alot less suicides if the people who start these venemous attacks were tracked via IP address, arrested (I dont they'd be so vocal when the gardai turn up at their frontdoor) and they should be shown the full weight of the law ... I for one would back this a million percent. As part of my job I am open to attack on my presenting skills ... its not nice but hey you gotta take the good with the bad as you're never gonna make everyone happy ... as much you might try but when people start defamation on your character its a WHOLE different ballgame and thats when it goes from professional criticism to full online bullying and its just so vulgar. I know from dealing with headsup and spunout.ie that many people are open to and experiencing online bullying and IT HAS TO STOP NOW ... enough is enough Im fed up with lives being lost over it I dunno how Im going to start the ball rolling but I will be campaigning to bring people who target people for online bullying and who publish lies and defamation online to answer for their actions .... If you are someone involved in any sort of hate campaign or online bullying STOP and if u see someone bullying online or blogging or posting lies about someone you know REPORT firstly to the web moderators, if they dont act ... then contact parents/teachers or THE GARDAI ... I cant sit by and watch this anymore ... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!! Sign this petition and lets take action NOW

tracking IP addresses is the only way. these cowards wouldnt say a word if they were actually held accountable for their lies.
