re: If one were doing a paper on bullying, would TD be considered a primary source?

if one witnesses it happens on the site at the actual time that it is happening, wouldn't that quality?
A primary source provides direct or firsthand evidence about an event, object, person, or work of art. Primary sources include historical and legal documents, eyewitness accounts, results of experiments, statistical data, pieces of creative writing, audio and video recordings, speeches, and art objects.
None of this applies to the OT.

So, is it your position that an online message board is not a primary source for the conversations and behavior that occurs on that board? I'm not talking about if some poster said "I read this about bullying." I'm talking about communication and behavior that is going on between posters in the threads. I'm intrigued by your take on the question.
