Does anyone know what a bully is in an internet forum ?

 

Someone who abuses another poster and that person's friends then gang up and and bully the poster partly by agreeing with the horrible behavior

 

I see this happening in this thread..

 

I'm with you buddy. I'm afraid of actually admitting it because I know I'm now a target.

 

They made a movie of the real life version of this.

OP is the lion. Northern/Shadow is the baby buffalo. That's really all that's happening here.

So no one is allowed to state their opinion without the label of bully? :eek:

 

Sorry, but that is bonkers. Beyond bonkers in fact. People are allowed to disagree with each other or partly disagree, without that label. If not, there's eff all point in LS, or in any discussion whatsoever.

 

I don't know whereabouts in my post you would get the idea that I was bullying/ganging up on anyone. All I said was that no one could be sure of OPs intentions, they may have been good, and I gave an example where I believed this was a valid and good thread, but I did say the comment to Sky was underhanded. If you're about to accuse people of bullying the OP, perhaps you may want to take a look at her post which targeted Sky, and was below the belt in my opinion, which was far more abusive than anything anyone else has posted. Just saying.

I have my issues, but I'm not a bad catch, not a good one. An ok one I guess. :laugh: But I think I answered that a few pages ago.

Never admit you're afraid of a bully. They feed on fear.

 

Northern made the very first nasty post in this thread. Of course she edited it into dashes, but i read it. Further, she straight up said that she didn't believe me when i apologized and clarfied myself. Im sorry, but that's calling me a liar and i think that is a pretty low blow. My honesty is something i deeply value about myself. Go ahead and count the nasty posts from the two of them. I ignored, i apologized, i explained and yet they refused to back off. At what point in all this piling on was i allowed to defend myself.

Well, now I know definitively you ARE lying. Because what I originally wrote before I put the dashes in was "quoted for emphasis." I decided it was redundant and took it out, but needed to reach the character limit.

You edited that post 3 times (that i managed to read) you're the liar.

I think the manner in which you defended yourself is the issue. I don't disagree, there were exchanges in which you tried to clarify, and it continued on, but the comment was low. That's what I think people are getting at, and are annoyed with. You dealt a low blow, and there wasn't need for it, and I'm bullying you, just calling it as I saw it.

I edited twice, and both said the same thing: "quoted for emphasis" and the second was "that deserves to be repeated." Then I put the dashes in.

 

So, what else did I say?

I meant "I'm not bullying you." God, I swear I can't type worth a damn!:o

When I read the OP I did not get the feeling that the intent of this was malicious. I felt she wanted to provide a place for people to describe the positive things the opposite sex may/should see in them. Everyone has different perceptions of themselves so to state that what the OP posted was what all men want/look for in a woman was incorrect.

that's the tricky thing about bullies. If you point out what they're doing, they'll play the victim and accuse you of being a bully. There's no winning.

No one in this thread has admitted to being afraid of ME. Think about that.

I understand you perfectly well, so there's nothing to fear.

I'm not afraid of you because your tactics are transparent. I understand you perfectly well, so there's nothing to fear.

 

Yeah but you are looking a bit scary to others

Lol. Why because I accused her of bragging? Right, now I'm the bully. This is so predictable.

 

You might want to review what she wrote about me earlier in the thread.

I think you misread my post. I highly doubt that ANYONE this board is afraid of ME. Can YOU say the same?

I'm curious. Do you happen to know the page? I can't find it.

I don't think anyone (that I know of) is afraid of Sky at all. I think she disagreed with this thread, and you made a low comment about her. And near to every poster who read that comment has stated their opinion on it, and that that it was low. Why not just own it and apologize? It was low by all standards.

 

Anyway, I don't think people are bullying you. They just disagree with the thread. Why not just agree to disagree?
