Spending time on political blogs, you get used to some very inappropriate comments. I’ve had people attempt to interfere with my professional life. Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan certainly have experienced cyberbullying, and Kathy Sierra has written about some particularly offensive cyberbullying, including death threats that caused her to cancel her ETech presentations.

As she notes in the title of her blog post, “Death threats against bloggers are NOT "protected speech"”. Andy Carvin has blogged about this on his PBS blog and has set up Stop Cyberbullying social network on Ning.

Robert Scoble talked about taking the week off from blogging as a response. Wesley Fryer is talking about “blogging fast in response”. Andy comments, “Actually, I’m not sure if I was proposing a blog fast per se - more like ruminating on the idea”

I don’t know how we Stop Cyberbullying, but spreading the word seems to be a key way that bloggers deal with any sort of threat, so please, spread the word about Stop Cyberbullying day.
