My opinion probably won't matter here since I'm no staff member, but here's what I think: On one half, I don't condone insulting other users on Wikis given that they are environments made to inform people on either specific or wider forms of media. It's full-on counter-productive and really, it's just common sense. You simply can't insult someone and expect them to come to terms with your edits, period. I've gotten strict with users who start edit wars with the past, I'll admit that, but I never resort to petty name-calling.

But on the other half, would I even consider some troll going around hurling insults cyberbullying? Absolutely not (again, just my opinion). In my mind, there's a difference been trolling and cyberbullying. Trolling is when you go around intentionally provoking people and laughing about. I don't condone that type of stuff, but that's pretty much the basics of trolling. Cyberbullying (in my opinion) is when you at first harass someone online, only to escalate and take it a step further by affecting the victim IRL in some shape of form. I say this because it's happened to me before several years ago (someone once tried impersonating my identity on Facebook, when I don't even and ever have used it, and then went around sending racial slurs to people I never even knew, and people started believing that I was racist for whatever reason).

Point is, Prince pretty much earned his block through his edit wars and insults, there's no doubt about that. But to consider his actions "cyberbullying" is kind of pushing it...
