Entertainer Jason Gunn says it is time to say "enough" to cyber bullying.
Earlier this week, Gunn waded into the furore over Dominic Harvey's Dancing With The Stars tweet, posting a video clip on his Facebook page imploring Kiwis to stop being "arsey" and be kind.
Speaking to Paul Henry this morning, Gunn defended his decision to get involved, and said he could not stand cyber bullying.
"It really gets out of control, I've been a victim of it for years and I know a lot of people have, I just think it is a simple thing to stop, and it gets too simply out of control.
"Everyone was talking about this situation but it had gone to another level. It's just so ugly. It was my two cents worth on my Facebook page.
"I guess through the magic of social media, next minute, it goes viral."
People had forgotten the consequences of using social media to express their ideas, Gunn told Paul Henry.
"Now of course we broadcast these ideas not to a few mates, it's to the world. I think that filter has completely gone and no one thinks about those consequences.
"We are very quick to parade to the world and tell the world how to be a better people and then we go about not being so."
It was time to say "enough" to cyber bullying, Gunn said.
"Ask yourself is this the way that you would want your children to be talking to other people."
In his video, Gunn said contestant Chrystal Chenery, who has accused Harvey of bullying behaviour for posting a crotch shot of her on social media, "was amazing" on the dance show.
"She was beautiful, and she so deserved to be there in the final," he said.
He also defended Harvey, saying he had been "lucky enough" to work with him in the past, and described him as a "genuine" and kind man.
"Let's all just step back from the keyboard shall we? Stop being arsey, and just enjoy life and be kind."
