The following is information I have compiled about adult cyber bullies. Over and over, the information on adult bullies states virtually the same thing:
Adult bullies are unable to cope with their own lives and problems. They are easily intimidated and have strong feelings of jealousy and inadequacy. They are most always desperate to receive attention that they do not receive at home or in relationships. They seek to attempt to discredit those who are more knowledgeable, talented, educated, and/or influential. Even though many of them cognitively understand when they have behaved wrongly, they still wish to appear as though they are morally superior. They will insist that others have attacked them. They will lead a group to bandwagon, or gang up on a target with them, and seek to gain attention for themselves by any means possible, usually through humiliating their target. Although they can be charming, they are vindictive and manipulative liars. In an attempt to justify their behaviors, they will often defer to a higher authority, i.e. God, the law, the boss, important or influential people in society. They are unable to internalize their own behaviors and become angry and unreasonable when someone attempts to point out how they were wrong or how their behavior was unacceptable.
Cyber bullies are dangerous because they often start out as very friendly. However, upon gaining trust, they become increasingly aggressive and hostile to those in their circle of influence. They begin to target more people and begin to turn on people in their own group. Once they turn on people in their own circle, they have already accumulated personal information, from photos to addresses to full names, and are able to inflict serious personal and professional damage.

Maggie very good article, Dr. Phil I agree the cyber bully is also a bully in the work place, and in the family setting. They as well as criminals start out as children like the rest of us, but somewhere down the line did not learn or their brain was not wired for the learning of compassion or tenderness. This of coarse is a shame, all children's lives should be filled with nurturing and the opportunity to do great things.
Always,
