					Welcome, Scholars!
 
					
					Whether you are a researcher with a .edu email address, a 
					victim of reputational attacks, or simply one of the many 
					students of life and society researching the phenomenon of 
					Internet savagery, you are welcome here.  The purpose 
					of this site is to provide a searchable database of 
					information pertinent to your area of interest.  Think 
					of it as an extremely purified solution of information that 
					is rich in the search terms that are bubbling through your 
					mind when the topic of your interest is online abuse.  
					By typing search terms into the box below, rather than into 
					the general Google search engine, you will be dipping your 
					sampling tube into a much richer source of relevant 
					information, and you will be able to see which and how many 
					writers are discussing the same topic, reaching a consensus 
					or divergence of opinions, etc.  So crank up your 
					thinking cap and start punching in search terms.  And 
					remember, when you find what you want, and write your own 
					piece on the topic, a good scholar quotes accurately, 
					provides meaningful context, identifies the author of the 
					original source, and links back to the page where the quote 
					was drawn from, so other scholars can benefit from your 
					research.  Thus, your research will become part of the 
					greater accumulation of knowledge on the topic, complete the 
					cycle of honest information exchange by which we all grow 
					richer.
