I don't really understand the problem with it, it's like the people who commit suicide 'because of myspace' or 'because of facebook'... I'm sorry, but if they're prepared to take their life because of someone being mean to them (and yes, I know just how mean those comments can be), then they would have found a reason at another point in their lives. On Formspring, you can either make people sign in so that you can block the account, or you can block anonymous messages completely... you can also report or delete the questions without replying to them, they have done all they can to help people prevent this bullying. If people don't attempt to stop it, then it's their own fault. The best idea is to only give formspring to your friends - I posted mine on facebook... because guess what... unlike a lot of people (apparently), on my facebook, I don't have anyone who would post anything mean to me :O So far, I've had silly questions, serious questions and one marriage proposal xDDD (the whole anonymous thing made that one awkward) I think Formspring is a good idea and a fun site, they have precautions in place to prevent this kind of thing, if people don't use it, then you can't blame formspring.
