The act of a keyboard warrior who takes great delight in taking down people online is one of extreme cowardice, the mark of the scoundrel; but it is not one that is new to us in society, and since the advent of communication, since the ability to send letters in near anonymity, the scope of bringing distress and harm to others has been more invasive, terrible, cruel, and even pushed many to a place where death/suicide is an outcome the, the cowards, are hoping for.
