Online Bullies

Your judging me from the past? If that's so then should I judge you for in the past for bullying people like you have mentioned.
I don't understand what you mean by 'detached' sorry.

you can judge me however you like, you'd be sorely mistaken if you think yr judgement would have any effect on the way i live my life or think.

i'm judging you by yr constant bringing up of other people judging people, people being bullied and other stuff like that. you have a victim mentality. escape from it.

I do these threads because let's face the facts, who else would bring up these matters?
NONE of them are about me nor for me. They are so people on this forum can voice their opinion about that subject.

You're not the first to bring up these matters and you certainly wont be the last, sorry to burst your bubble but it's true.

yr obsessed with bringing up these matters and the points you make are emotionally charged and not detached from yr opinion, so obviously it's involving yrself.

Catchy, I know but hey guess what? Not many people will.

Bethy, if you take a look around in *other* places of the forums, I don't mention any of these topics there. This part of the forum is for health, life and relationships. I am making topics related to it. Simple as, deal with it.
If I was obsessed, every post on this forum would mention bullies bullies bullies and they don't. You 'presume' its involving me but they are not. As I have clearly stated, I make these threads for people on this forum, not for myself. Amen.

doesn't replace the fact you have an obvious victim mentality and everyone can see it....

I haven't read any past comments, so don't argue with me if I say something that's already been said.

I think online bullies are pathetic. I mean honestly, how could someone be entertained by making people who they don't even know feel terrible? Well, I suppose half the people who I know from online will be able to answer that! But yeah - its stupid.

Why do you think they wont though? I can assure you many people will... We're not all cold hearted who don't give two tosses about issues such as bullying so you shouldn't really just presume "oh I'm the only person who will bring issues such as this up" because you're not. The issue of bullying is brought up countless times. Just because you've made a thread about it doesn't mean to say you're the only one willing to bring the issue up and doesn't make you brave or full of courage for doing it 'cause like I said, many people are willing to bring up issues such as this you're not the only one.

In all honesty I don't really see the hype over bullying people, I think being a victim of both real life and cyber bullying I may just see it differently than those who dish it out instead of being on the receiving end. Recently, I have made myself realise that those online bullies that have been they might not have anything better to do so you deal with it or move on, don't get upset or anything about it and if only I had the realisation years ago. Having said that I think everything happens for a reason so if you get bullied it may help someone in later life, it might make it better/worse/indifferent but at the end of the day those online can't physically hurt you (unless they hunt you down) like those in real life can.

I'd hate to be bullied in real life and that's why I mainly just stop before saying things in different situations as it will only make it worse, but mainly I reiterate my first point that bullying doesn't really excite me at all, not sure why others do it as I feel there could be any reasons. I was bullied in real life mainly before and maybe I'm quiet now, but what's to say some things might not have happened if I wasn't that quiet, shy person I have become.

Overall though, I think some people may get bored of bullying you and find out you aren't that bad and try to form a friendship, as many have said, you can judge someone but remember you do only have a small bit of information about them, if you got to know them you may see them in a different, more positive light.
Sorry if I confused people.

That maybe but you learn important lessons from being bullied.

So bullying is a good thing? I've done people a massive service over the years?

The bullies wasted an aspect of their lives doing the bullying because in the long run, people who have been bullied get on with there own lives too. So what does the bully achieve from bullying? Nothing much.

Bullying is not for a long-term goal, never has been and probably never will be. It's for short-term amusement and social control, and THAT is what a bully achieves ie: everything that they set out to achieve

Bullies also get whats coming to them eventually.

Do they? I'd really love to see any sources you have to back up the claim that a majority (or even 5% realistically) of bullies "get what's coming to them", whatever that may entail. Throwing out random rhetoric helps no-one and is in fact harmful to whatever cause you're trying to champion here because it attempts to give credence to falsities, which is how all sorts of injustices begin

You can't judge someone over the internet that A) You haven't met and B) Don't know them properly.

Can absolutely judge what someone is showing to you, be it in the flesh or in typed words

I do these threads because let's face the facts, who else would bring up these matters?

You're right, you are the first and only person to have ever mentioned cyberbullying on a forum that for most of decade has comprised mainly of teens from a mass-member chatsite. This is definitely the case
