It's easy to shrug it off but I know of at least one Person that has left the site because she felt bullied.
Ironically enough, it's often times the bullies themselves that will search around for the bullies when in fact all they need to do is go grab a Mirror.
It's a tactic often employed by tyrants. The "weeping predator" I believe is what they call it.

I hate bullying! I think it's just about one of the worst thongs someone can do to another. People are so heartless these days. Geez.

I have noticed a few people that act superior to the rest. Who cares what they think. Chat with the people you enjoy and shove off to the ones you don't! Its online, the worst they can do is piss and moan!

Really who takes people who insult you over the internet seriously? Sure I'd be burned by it but you don't know the person and most likely wont ever meet the person in person. Quit taking things to heart.

I don't think that person meant he/she cries over it, just that it's annoying and makes things less fun for the people who have to deal with it. It would be weird to take all of it to heart lol

It's normal and understandable to hate it. You can take steps against them like delete their comment or report them if things get seriously out of hand or you can try to talk it out with them.

Try not to take to heart. Just remember, the people here don't know you and have nothing better to do piss people off over the internet because they don't have enough balls to do it in real life.

Whats worse, the person who acts like Attila the Hun while sitting anonymously behind a computer screen, or someone who lets such person affect them at all?

Bullying? This is an adult website and I'm assuming your a competant adult. If the comments bother you, you have an option to report a persons bad behavior. In case you forgotten, it's the Internet. None of this stuff is to be taken seriously. You honestly let what a troll says thousands and thousands of miles away hiding behind a computer screen get to you? Ignore them and enjoy the website.

exactly this. plus there's no reason to talk with people offending you. I dropped out of discussions on IIN twice when i realized that was all the other party intended.
Unlike real life, where it's harder, here it's quite realistic to simple ignore/avoid certain people.If you did something to draw a lot of hate to you, you can also always start over with a new name. Heck, if it's too much, you could even just say "**** this, i'm leaving!" Not that it should ever get that far, but opposed to REAL life bullying, the one you have to take on a anonymous website is kind of ridiculous.
Have you ever been to /b/? Anon is cruel, this here is kindergarden...

this is something that i dont understand. people getting upset because of words on a screen. if you dont like it then why stay? its just like all the kids who are upset of the bullying on facebook, just press the block button and MAGIC the bullying disapears. there is a difference to real bullying and being super sensitive. but i dont know your situation, i can only assume that someone has been bullying you on here? change your username maybe since you are so upset about it. maybe you get bullied because you let it happen or you ask for it? obviously it doesnt bother you too much because you insist on bringing the attention to yourself via this story. do you love the attention and just want more?

*~ThePurplePixie~* is the OP. She/he/it has been having a big cry like a child over every little thing, she's trying to get me banned because i thought she was lying about her job! (i really do think she is)
You're a crybaby *~ThePurplePixie~*, a snitch and a crybaby who thinks that she's so hard done by as soon as someone calls her on bullshit!

Yes, it is normal. I do my best to try to reason with them. Some can be but most are "internet trolls", in those cases it's what they look to do on all kinds of forums. It's annoying and rude and completely unsympathetic. What makes it worse is they're finding like-minded people. But when I open a post I like the look of and see it happening to someone else, I try to stand up for them. I'm clear, concise, logical, and do my best not to be rude, emotional, or mean (I'm only human though so I'm sure I fail). It tends to make a bully upset when they have no real argument against what you're saying and they start saying stupid things or things that don't make sense. I also report it. And if someone is like that to me, I firmly don't accept it while also trying not to be dramatic and over emotional since that only fuels their fire instead of taking it away. If you see someone faltering under a bully on here or anywhere online, please report it or at least try to help. A lot of the people on here are genuinely looking for help on personal matters or want to share opinions. Those are the people this website was made for and they deserve a safe space for that.

A sense of humor should not include intentionally putting someone down when you know that they don't find it funny for your own amusement and for the amusement of a very select people. That's called being a bully and if someone acting that way doesn't know the difference then they probably are one, whether or not they realize it.
It's not that most people are so sensitive they worry about it a ton or stay up late crying because the bullying is "that bad" (because it isn't always), it's just that it's annoying and makes whatever that person was doing/saying less fun.Comment Hidden ( show )-

"intentionally putting someone down when you know that they don't find it funny for your own amusement"
Thats not trolling. But allow me to reason here, i am abit harsh at times i know. But the problem is that if you say something that upsets a person they respond the same way, and the second you back down they heap shit on you, acting like they've won some big victory. "Give them an inch they take a mile" so to speak. I've been quite mean to other people on here, but they've been just as hurtful in response. As i see it, the people who get bullied off this site or cry and complain have no business debating with adults if they're as sensitive as a six year old. Most of them only start crying if they're losing the argument, but ofcourse they're still trying to win it aren't they? I get people calling me names on here and so do alot of others, but you don't see us leaving IIN or reporting people, because we're adults, not snitches and not children that haven't learnt the art of verbal jousting.

It's true that you're not the only mean one and it's probably true that people have been mean to you when you didn't deserve it. Sometimes people are just having a bad day or retaliate without thinking until it escalates. Sometimes not. When you were being what I felt was unkind and harsh to me, I did my best not to be as mean back. I retaliated but tried to control it and keep it more logical than emotional. I'm not perfect, no one is, so of course I fail sometimes. But just because someone is being mean to you or to me, does that mean we need to be mean back? Or be mean to them later on for something else? Or be mean to someone who did nothing to us later on? Let me put it another way: Is it ok for someone to say they whipped their children so hard and frequently that it left scars on their backs because that person's parents did it to them? Or that I should be mean to a Mormon because there was a Mormon who had been mean to me first? While that's an extreme analogy (simply because it gets the point across better), it represents a mixture of an "eye for an eye" and "I'll do it to them before they do it to me". When applied to social situations, that, too, is an immature train of thought that unfortunately a lot of us get taught. But just because we're taught it, doesn't make it right. I mean my father was taught to look down on colored people but he doesn't now and he married my mother who was half Mexican.
I guess what I'm saying is, it's not a very happy way to live. Perpetuating the unhappiness and mistreatment is bad for others and it's especially bad for yourself.
It's kind of like what most great spiritual people in our world have said at one point or another (and great thinkers too, not just believers in a God/Goddess). It's always been along the same lines. "Treat others as you would like to be treated", "Turn the other cheek" (although there's now some speculation on how that one as been translated), and other things like empathy, understanding, and being a source of happiness because it's good for everyone involved. That doesn't always mean don't defend yourself, just that being mean is not good.
This is a website for adults, adults should be mature and to try to make someone else feel small in order to make yourself feel bigger is not the way to do it. You can be smarter than someone or think that you're right or whatever without starting something mean, ya know?Comment Hidden ( show )-

A troll tricks people, i think you'll find i haven't tricked anybody. My opinions are just harsh, but they're still my opinions.
I think you'll find very few contradictions in my serious answers.
And for the record, you Allistalla aren't even able to write coherently most of the time, so why should i listen to you? You're immature and uneducated. Just look at your last two comebacks, they're nothing.
