Brandon's comment would be very possible. I live in the deep South. My wife and I entered a very nice antique store run by a little old white lady, when she heard our accent and seeing us looking at pictures of plantation homes, suggested we go into the room behind the curtain "where there's things you might like". All kind of Lost Cause, Confederate heroes, Stars and Bars, picking cotton kind of stuff.
I'd be inclined to state this as a very clever strategy to induce purchase! Good for her.
I too, frequent antique shops and happened to come across a sweater clasp from the 50s. It wasn't real pricey, and I was planning on buying it anyway but must have appeared just a little hesitant. The man behind the counter remarked that he'd purchased it at an estate sale (naturally) and thought that the cabochon might be a ruby because, while it is red, under certain light it is pink....yada, yada, yada. In any case I bought the clasp but have yet to have it tested.

Survival is one thing. Frightening children with imagined terror enough to buy them a book on the subject is another. That seems a haphazard and dangerous approach and appears more detrimental than beneficial.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
