You have to think of it from a micro blogging perspective. Imagine I have a ton of followers and have created a culture of them attacking anyone I attack. It makes more sense how it is bullying in that context.
Edit: Also, to be clear, I'm not arguing against this feature, just explaining how it can be used for bullying.
Again, it's the attacking which is the simple rule breaking and it's regardless of how. Good god talk about over analysis.
Break it more than once and account suspended.
