    In my daily life I expect, receive, and largely accept criticism for any poor decisions. I choose not to broadcast my daily life to the world via social media.

    And there it is. You believe that it is acceptable to bully someone so long as they publicly show their face and you are not willing to show yours because you are hiding from the same criticism.

      I don’t have the time or desire to maintain an online presence, nor do I think that’s a particularly healthy way to live. It’s not the default mode of existence; it’s an extremely recent phenomenon. If the cultural norm was to run naked down the street at 5pm with a stick up your arse, would deciding not to join in be “hiding”? Meanwhile, you seem to believe it’s acceptable to bully people who don’t conform to your ideal of human behaviour. That’s fine, just reflect on the consistency of that logic.
