Rockdirt: In a public service announcement for the UK’s leading bullying prevention charity Beatbullying.org, Fall Out Boy bassist/spokesmodel Pete Wentz explained that he’s been online loads of times when people have been giving each other grief. “Anything that you wouldn’t say to someone’s face, don’t say it online on the computer,” Wentz said (Pete Wentz PSA Against Online Bullying).
