Who decides the balance ?
Abuse in who's opinion ?
Bullying in who's opinion ?
Insulting in who's opinion ?
Etc etc.
Anyone can claim they are being "insulted", "abused" or "bullied"
(whenever they dont agree with what someone else says to them).
Some do it regularly on this very forum, dont you they.

Well said .

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
There is hostility to all sorts of people in our society, not just the disabled.

yeah and some are heard more than others. I do not see your point here? are you saying hostility to the disabled is less important and not worth posting the link for??

It's the only way to stop online abuse.
It's now getting to the stage where anything you write/post on the internet, no matter how innocent or innocuous it is, can be seen as offensive by someone, somewhere - whether to them or on behalf of others - and the knock on the door follows.
And I don't think I'm wrong in suggesting there are people out there that go looking for it, either for financial gain or the smug satisfaction of seeing others trip over.
Just look at how many times on this forum, that a MOD has had to step in and tell people to cool down . . then take it a stage further where instead of warning people, you have to (by law) report them to the authorities as 'posts that could be construed as offensive'
That could eventually lead to bye bye forum, closed down and possibly fines handed out. Do we want it to reach that stage?

Might make people think a bit more if debates were conducted via the banging of spoons on pipes/walls

Wouldn't work, someone would misinterpret a 'clang clunk clang' for a clunk clunk clang' and there'd be a riot
