No, no, no, no, no.
What you are missing is that human beings are social creatures, and our well-being is enormously dependent on how well our communities work. Every community has norms of behavior and ways of enforcing them. If trolling and cyberbullying are allowed, then either people in the community suffer unnecessarily, or the community collapses.
Let me add that you are disempowering yourself when you don't try to ensure that your communities are good.
