Types of bullying

Bullies may use one or several types of bullying to hurt their victim.

Physical - pushing, shoving, punching, hitting, kicking, taking away a person's belongings (this may also constitute assault).

Verbal - name calling, banter, threatening, teasing, intimidating, yelling abuse, using put-downs.

Psychological - ganging up, preventing a person from going somewhere, taking a person's possessions, sending hostile or nasty emails or text messages.

Socially - excluding, alienating, ignoring, spreading rumours.

Thanks Azurline.  It's the social type I have seen.  It is unpleasant.  

Many of us enjoy (yes, enjoy sometimes) a bit of tit for tat but this has been something entirely different.

I didn't read that bit, only the cyber bullying part as I think that is what the OP's main focus is.   Are people so precious these days that getting a nasty look from someone can set them off on a ''I am being bullied campaign".   They may have done something to deserve that nasty look.

It was in the other link posted. Post #116

I think Iza is ignoring me......

but LOL at the Socially section up there in Types of Bullying in Az's post....

They mention ignoring and eBay CS has an ignore button LOL

If it is socially why hang out with people that treat you like that?

Bit different if bullying is in the workplace or school.. where you can't always avoid the person.

That's true Crikey but if anyone wants to use the ignore button then there is no reason to keep reminding a poster that you can't actually read their posts.  

The ignore button has always been a fail for me :^O

But that would be unfair, Amethyst.  Why should a poster have to ignore threads.  They are for everyone.

sheesh, I gotta answer you so you don't think I'm ignoring you now Joono - LOL

I have never intentionally used the ignore button - it'd drive me nuts wondering what I was missing LOL

But a poster once played a prank on someone here and somehow posted a link to that posters ignore button, so when you clicked on the link you put them on ignore....

So I have done it - but I didn't mean to LOLOL

That's true Crikey but if anyone wants to use the ignore button then there is no reason to keep reminding a poster that you can't actually read their posts.     The ignore button has always been a fail for me :^O

yes, the bullying I guess is telling them you have them on ignore. I don't need a button. (not every day)

I have a couple on ignore and I can tell you it is wonderful.  I'll be totally honest to, I've not ever undone it, they have proved to have verbal diarrhea so I have no interest EVER to hear what they have to say.  

I think its a great feature.
