I am a gen-x boomer and was doing cyber bullying for a while, mostly targeting gen z. This article certainly catches the spirit of my work Maybe one day they will finally add a button that will prevent these 'online' scams, until then, be wary/where.

Why were you cyber bullying gen z kids?

I'm just picturing that South Park episode with Kyle's dad trolling.

gen-x boomer

As a Gen-X I have to ask what exactly is meant by that. That you openly admit cyber bullying gives some hint, but I'd rather get a self definition than to assume.

Fellow Gen-X. I'm assuming they're an ass and that's about all I need to know.

I try to be impartial and let them dig the hole themselves. Silence so far is damning.
