So Beanster who exactly are you trying to hurt with your crushing holier than thou morality play there? Me or you? LOL. From what I read on the site (how many people who wrote to this thread looked at it BEFORE posting?), the bullies are awful because they have power and abuse it. Flamers and trolls don't have power like bosses in corporate management do so they can't harm you in the same way.

If Mbo wants to say "Nyahh Nyahh lucky me, I was homeschooled" (a singularly ill-bred statement) what's wrong with saying "So what?" By several standards Mbo's comment was insensitive to the people who had written about their awful personal experiences in a school system which they couldn't escape for the relative luxury of homeschooling.
