Why the chuffing hell do people need to be so flaming aggressive in some of their posts?!
Everybody has different experiences/opinions. Whatever. There's no need at all to call someone an 'idiot' (or anything else for that matter) simply because they have a different view to yourself.
It's bullying. Surely. Makes me wonder whether they'd be so forthcoming with their assaults if they weren't hiding behind a computer screen.
Sorry, whinge over Angry

cyber bullying is still bullying btw .

SammyTheSwedishSquirrel · 28/09/2012 17:48

Is this thread in relation to the thread you flounced on because your anecdote wasn't accepted as scientific evidence?

SuePurblybilt · 28/09/2012 17:51

cyber bullying is not someone saying 'feck off you ignorant poster, you'. That's cyber nastiness maybe, but bullying is more (according to Wiki). "Cyberbullying is the use of the Internet and related technologies to harm other people, in a deliberate, repeated, and hostile manner."

So unless you've been harmed on MN, deliberately, repeatedly and hostile-y (yes, I know) - you've not been bullied.
You have perhaps been squashed, flamed, put back in your box or called on being wrong. Bjullied, as the glorious M to the Itmoo has it.

For the love of all that's holy, disagreeing with someone is not bullying. A vast number of people disagreeing with a particular view or poster is not bullying,<a class="break-all" href="//bullying.www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/13905962" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here this may help.

Now if anyone can point out one example of it on the site let HQ know and I'm sure they'd be delighted to ban those involved.
Otherwise can everyone please stop calling bully when they get told something they don't like?

Capiche?

It's raining.

SuePurblybilt · 28/09/2012 17:54

Fuck off Tufty, you bully.

DameCJ · 28/09/2012 17:55

Great minds Sue.

SuePurblybilt · 28/09/2012 17:56

Aren't we though? Grin

sunshine401 · 28/09/2012 17:57

Bullying is any use of words to insult/put down/hurt another .... I do not know what went on but I just was flicking through and somone said you cannot bully unless in Rl , thats why I said about cyber bullying I was'nt talking about anything anyone has done :)

Having a different point of view is not it is how you chose to show your view that may make the difference.

TuftyFinch · 28/09/2012 17:57

I'm being bullied! Just because I wanted to share a fact about the weather? Seasalt arse!!

LadyBeagleEyes · 28/09/2012 17:59

Capiche?
I was told on that now deleted thread that that is not clever and not funny Sad
I like it too, it conveys so much.

Aw LostItYearsAgo you're upset because I said you were an idiot for believe that NOT vaccinating a child against MMR led to the child being able to fight off the common cold. Paraphrasing slightly.

I stand by my comment, that is an idiotic thing to believe.

Also, thread about a thread. Just saying.

SuePurblybilt · 28/09/2012 18:15

Sleeping wid da fishes.

Mmm. And Capiche is how Italians spell Capische in times of hardship. Frugal with letters, they are.

Notmadeofrib · 28/09/2012 18:46
  1. I disagree

  2. I totally disagree

  3. I totally disagree and think you're a chuffin idiot.

  4. You're a twunt

HTH
