Well, I was thinking more in terms of work vs schools. (Sure, it happens in some work situations, but with any luck and decent managers/HR the polices set in place will help see that it's dealt with.)
The internet is kind of assumed to be a cesspool where many of all ages will delve into the most asshat form of themselves.

I'd like to think that in situations like that many actually also have good people behind them who could be credited in playing a part, maybe a larger part, in helping encourage the person to summon the courage to take a stand for themselves.
