[Closed] Internet Bullying is a fact of life...

Screw you. Idiot.

It's not as if there wasn't any bullying before the Internet came along...

😉

You just saved yourself being reported to the teachers Flashy!

Some people (even grown-ups on here) just haven't got a sense of humour.
I'm guessing you were banned for having one?

Hora the the thread please. Repeat: [b]Hora to the thread please!![/b]

DeBz!! Yes, but would you edit that?

shut it fatso.

I was glad I reported your original shenanigans...you deserved every day of it.

there are certain subjects where people seem to get suuuuuuuper sensitive and read into every comment as a personal attack. politics, parenting, children, religion, doping and the subject of the year.... weight loss.

some people just can't handle the internet of course.

some people are weirdly protective over other people despite having never met them, and some people are weirdly obsessed with other people despite having never met them. some people seem to think that just because you agree on certain things when presented a certain way on t'internet that all of a sudden they're best of friends... these people seem to be the first to explode in a sensitive ball of fury the moment that perceived friendship is torn apart by a differing opinion.

its all very childish, are these people only friends with people who agree with them on everything, have they never had anyone challenge them on an opinion in real life?

Isn't this covered on page 118 or the Law at Work act.

😆

trying to move up 'the list' are you dobbo?!

and deadly, it was me who reported the stuff that got yeti banned, it wasn't even yeti's posts i reported, it was the threats against him. dont make me get over protective now 😆

have i mentioned you're a right fatty mr darcy? and your arm muscles aren't in the least bit impressive. oh and you're very tall.

*opposite day*

Phil. Just WTF do you think you're *ing doing? Coming round here with your with your *ing rational analysis, and your ****ing thoughtful opinions.

OUTSIDE NOW!!!!

Takes two to tango.

When does a troll become the victim of bullying?

This isn't about bans people... it's about bullying.

People's perception of what constitutes bullying could however be an interesting discussion...

I blame it on people's diets and lifestyle.

Not enough sugar and too much exercise makes people tetchy.

FACT!!

Your brain, like all areas of the body, relies on a steady supply of glucose to function properly. If you take too much insulin, skip meals, take certain medications, are extremely physically active or drink too much alcohol, your blood sugar levels can drop too low. A low blood sugar level is called hypoglycemia. Mild cases of low blood sugar can cause you to feel nervous or anxious, while more severe cases can lead to feeling irritable or tired[/i]

Ah, so Philly, you were being sooooo protective of Monsieur Yetski, that you decided you'd get him a ban - to save him from himself you say?

*opposites day*

You're a proper shortarse. Your tattoos are shite and your girlfriend isn't at all purdy.

Munro, you're a shit runner and you wear gopping trainers.

I'm trying to think of something insulting to say about Bravisimo, but I can't. He's, just, like... soooooooooo cool

*swoons*

Your tattoos are shite and your girlfriend isn't at all purdy

Have you ever actually met her? I've been invited to the wedding and still haven't.

where one person takes an inordinate amount of flack, above average for the group, sometimes deserved or asked for... it crosses the line to bullying when its no longer give and take and becomes a barrage that the recipiant doesnt like and cannot handle, and the agressor then doesnt stop or ease up.

in the internerds, its more difficult to assess when someone has had enough.

edit: *readjusts pants, descends left bollock, carrys on*

Have you ever actually met her?

Only stalked pictures of her on facebook. She's well fit. I'm well jell.

Phil. I often seem to agree with everything you say and post, you are very funny and you make some deep insights an usual.
I agree with everything you say

It depends what you men by bullying. IMHO on here you get some folk who prod and want a reaction, you get some folk who are socially inept and some folk who are freed from the constraints of the real world [ social ostracisation or a fight] into letting the inner **** fly and be free.

What does happen is your view is likely to be challenged ...depending on how this is done some folk see it as bullying. Sometimes it may but I think here is pretty good for self regulation and moderation by STW

He's, just, like... soooooooooo cool

i wrote a long wordy post trying to question how bulling is defined then i deleted it and hit refresh to find out what direction the thread was going.... glad i didnt post it! but as a gentle effort to keep the thread on track, I don't think bullying can be defined as just the case of 'its when someone feels bullied' as some individuals can be quite paranoid and sometimes it just the subject that's particularly sensitive to them. i think the accused bully's motives need to be established before they could be punished for bullying.

it then moves onto the subject of being offended. being offended isnt the same as being bullied, being offended doesnt mean you've been picked on, it just means your opinions differ from another persons. i'm offended by racists but i understand they're not making racist comments with the intention of offending me or trying to bully me.

to try and translate this to a diet thread for example, forumuserX might be offended by the term 'move more eat less' but that doesnt mean the person typing it is saying it to offend them or to bully them, its just their opinion.

I'm feeling like this thread is being used as a means to bully me now 🙁

Read and inwardly digest

If someone feels bullied on this forum then they are a bloody idiot. (IMO!)
Click another thread, change website, close your browser, shut down your computer.
If you're getting bullied then you must want to be! It's piss easy to avoid.

Which means that you have been successfully bullied.

It is easy to avoid DezB i mean in the real world you could move house, never go outside, hide in your room to escape a Bully for example.
I mean if you go outside you must want to be picked on 😕

Internet bullying may be just as real for some people nd just as "real " as actull life bullying would be.

As Mark says this forum is still the real world.

Seems strange to blame the victim for this tbh

I do agree that some people have a low threshold and this may not be helpful on the forum.

if somebodies being a complete idiot, and its the majority of forum users that think they are..... is it bullying if, without prior co-ordination, a large amount of forum users express their displeasure or disagreement with that said idiot?

this leads nicely on to whether a troll can be bullied.... a perceived troll pops up on parenting thread and says, purely with the intention of winding people up, 'i slap my kids hard if they misbehave, they dont mess around at home anymore and the bruises are easily explained away as they play rugby on saturdays'.... would the rest of the thread turning around and saying 'your an idiot, you're a troll, get off the thread' be bullying? what if that idiot turned out to be telling the truth and they felt bullied by the forum?

its a minefield!

I don't believe that there is any 'real' bullying on this forum, personally.

The mods don't allow it for one.

Phil makes another good point above.

Give me your credit card details, and I start being nice to you.
I charge 5 pounds for each positive post.

I dont think you can bully a troll as they want a reaction and attention..i doubt they care much whether it is positive or negative.

I agree with TSY there is no actual bullying on here but sometimes it depends

Lok at the Kasae laser eyes postal thread.Now I found it very funny but he left after that so he did not. i dont know if he thought it was bullying though
Was it bullying or just lack of humour on his part .....I am not sure tbh.
