Perhaps it's just because I'm not American, but I do find both positions (Peter's and Tim's, the author of the Report) a bit childish. I do think it's like "Hey teacher, Joe is bothering me!", and I have watched enough American movies to know that the American answer is "You both go to the Director's office now! Parents come later and blah blah, one of the kids is expelled and the other kid is now target of bullying by other bastard kids". Well, at least in great part of Europe and Asia the answer usually is "You two little bastards stop now!" and the whole class just turns to the two little kids waiting for them to stop the scene. The two kids realised the shame and stop.
But perhaps I'm wrong and the report written by Tim is the way to go.

Unfortunately, over the internet, kids and adults from all around the world usually refuse to stop trolling and harassing; they will even brag about their disruptive behaviour, if they think they can get away with it. This is why CoCs and bans have proliferated, and rightfully so.

- sdwr 5y agoI agree with you, the whole thing feels childish. I also get the sense that the original question-asker was ego-tripping a bit.
- armchairhacker 5y agoReal life isn't like American movies and the conversation is between adults. Most adults are reasonable enough not to pick on others even when they've been bullied, and the ones that do, the Go team doesn't want them.
