snowmachine, it is great that this issue is being addressed now before steemit becomes popular in the mainstream. Best to educate members now than to let it take over like all the other social media has. I don't recommend violence but self defense is different. I beat up my first bully when I was still in grade school. fortunately adults were watching and laughing as I was punching him for calling me bug eyes. From that moment on, everytime he saw me, he would turn and go the other way..The bully was then being bullied by his peers..true story!!
