bullying culture thread

[FunnysInLaJardin]

I did it, hooray, I posted the last post. I am sooooo PROUD

scottishmummy is absolutely correct (not something I say every day ) LBE is wrong (in so many ways).

Tiggy is a gi-irl, Tiggy is a gi-irl

I'm not convinced by the user number royalty connection, to be honest. I'm not royalty, I'm just sad and old.

fuck off smegs

Does it count as bullying, and can it be deleted, if it is struck out?

If I were to bait you repeatedly over my magnolia walls, that would be goading

If I were to slam you into said walls, t'would be bullying

Or something, I don't know anymore...............

Calling Tiggy a girl might be bullying. Since he's not and all.

Not if you want to catch a fish LeQ

But otherwise, I think so.

Goading sounds more pokey than baiting though.

Where does teasing come into it? Or are we not allowed to tease?

No teasing
No taking to friends
No going off topic
No quiches
No petting
No fun

(Bit like the notices they used to have up in the local swimming pool in the 70's)

I hope you are feeling better LaQueen.

Now, was that a nice supportive comment, do you think? Or was I saying it sarcastically, implying that there is nothing wrong with her and she is a whinger. Or am I implying that she is as mad as a box of frogs, and she needs to feel better, or am I deliberately excluding others by not asking them, or naming them by name, or, or

(dh has taken the taxi out, btw, so I am just about to pour the second glass)

I thought it meant patting

I used to think, why would you pat someone in a pool?

Sorry to go all serious ( nay po) but I've been on threads that have gone pear shaped through people goading what appears to me to be someone with mental health problems. Someone who starts a thread and perhaps words things abut hysterically, gets picked up on the tone in which she's posted something rather than the content, who then gets angry in her defensiveness and it all escalates. It's pretty unedifying, and I think if you met that person in RL you'd not tease them because you'd see they couldn't cope with it.

I used to work in Mental Health so I'm on the alert for that, I suppose.

Don't count your chickens Knid. That happened to me in my early 40's. Now it's all back with a vengeance (Sweeney Todd in HD multiplied by a gazillion).

Ah well, Ed, maybe there's hope yet for another miniKnid.

So, basically, we're not allowed to have any fun.

Fuck that for a box of soldiers.

Or something like that.

?

Zombie - thanks for the link to the accessibility policy, I didn't realise that txt spk was officially discouraged on here.

There is one about to go pouf at the moment which contains one of the nastiest things I have ever seen on here.

Now that is goading, ignoring thick OP's who haven't constructed an argument, just posted random shite, is a kindness actually.

Where, where, where Katie?

That was obvious trollery though
