Bullying for Dummies
-
Mike Flanagan, before his suicide, was apparently depressed because of the vicious criticism of his management of the Orioles (he had become part of the front office team). He felt responsible for not turning around the team but also felt savaged on the chat boards by the people of Baltimore who had once loved him.
A good reminder that bullying isn't limited to teenagers. Being mean and nasty online shouldn't be a leisure-time activity. And nothing exempts a person from the protection of moral treatment: not wealth, fame, job, being a smarty-pants, being stupid, politics, religion, lack of religion.
