If you give the flame no oxygen the fire dies.
These things are not so crucial to us that we cant do without them.
Let people bully an unresponsive wall to their heart's content.

That's further victimizing the victim though, isn't it? Taking something away from them that they've (likely) done nothing to deserve having it taken away.
It's probably the first thing I would do if I were in the same situation (removing myself from all social media), but you don't take a kid out of school for bullying, you make them keep going.
Also makes me wonder, similar to the old tree falling in the forest...if the bullying victim ceases interaction with their social media pages, and the bully still keeps at it, is it still bullying if the victim isn't directly receiving the messages?
