Was lolling at Karen!

LOL thank you karen, boss chook nice story

Things like Reclaim the Night are things that raise awareness and giving support...not playing the Victim

I think tolerance and awareness of bullying and saying it is not OK 

 is important and very relevant.Did anyone read the kids helpline article?

Chuk, No I don't think you are a troll...I hardly see you post anymore.I don't know you.I asked if you thought the entertainment value of trolls was more favorable and safer than that of a poster taking part in a discussion .

If I applied other people's theory I may think you were choosing to play the victim ? 

It seems bullying is OK?

and people should just put up with it...which would to me seem to encourage people to do it ?

I'm raising kids and that is not what I think they should be thinking ..

Any topic can be discussed as often as people wish.There are many people who are concerned about this issue...if other people aren't maybe not come in and tell others what they may and may not discuss?

Omg!!..... Such a lot of beating around the bush!!

Iza!!....... Do you feel that you are being bullied?

thank you for answering me iza, however I was not choosing to play the victim so you application on how you perceived what others said is not correct. i asked for clarification on your post

to answer your question. I think the term troll is used a bit to freely. 

If someone disagrees they are labelled a troll

If someone thinks another is wrong they are labelled a troll

Thats not how it works

Trolling and bullying are completely different and I do agree that if you play the victim, if your opinion differs and you play the bully card you are allowing your self to be a victim. 

If you need to say something just come out and say it.

I have not seen a case of true bullying on these boards for a very long time.

A3, if anyone accused someone of being dishonest or saying that something is not true..it is only reasonable that the person they accuse be allowed to show that that is not the case.If that means bumping threads it will be done.Maybe the solution is not to make accusations ?

Iza, what we want to know is: who is this anyone and who is this  person to whom you keep referring. It's hard to believe you could be making such a big deal out of a purely hypothetical argument.

why can i hear lambchop singing?

this is the song that never ends.....

but what about veiled accusations or insinuations?

I was feeling very cyber bullied yesterday when you implied that because I used dongles sometimes that it may give me an opportunity to create multiple ID's..

*sob*

*sniff*

however, because I know that is not true, I was able to just ignore it at that time.

I was also feeling very cyber bullied when you questioned my posting on the buying/selling boards when I had actually even made a post in support of you when someone said something about you I felt was unfair.

*bigger sob*

*bigger sniff*

And I read through the RTR thread today, and some of your posts on there in recent days seem to contradict what you are saying here...

I dunno

*shrugs*

but i don't reckon a person can have it both ways... If they serve it out, they gotta take it on the chin when and if it gets served back....

I gotta say, I do think the whole "poor me" and "I'm a victim" thingo is starting to wear a bit thin, eh?
