LaTigresse -> RE: Internet bullying. (3/12/2011 5:54:20 AM)

Again thank you all for your replies. I was curious how others saw the issue. I don't really have any clear lines, it's more of a case by case.
Except for Facebook which is mostly family, I do not really participate in any group, internet, interaction except here, anymore. Many years ago, I used to visit the chat rooms on AFF........but that is definitely long past. Before it turned into one big boring typed fantasy orgy. I enjoy intelligent and witty conversation. I also enjoy getting to know people with vastly diverse lives, backgrounds, cultures, etc...... My daily life is fairly restricted in that regard. I often have free time during my day, in which I can log in, read a little, perhaps add my own thoughts, and get something to think about as I go back to some mindless task, or as is often the case, while I am driving to and from.
The bullying stuff I have seen elsewhere, but because this is my primary internet reaction, of course I was thinking of here.........but not exclusively. I don't think my views are going to change but I do occasionally have to remind myself that not everyone is mentally/emotionally strong. We've even had a few threads on the subject and see the various illnesses/issues some of our members deal with on a daily basis. I am sure if I had to deal with the mental health stuff I've read about here, I would not always take some of the words typed here, as easily, or with the relaxed manner, that I do.
All of that said......I still believe one of the OP's I read this morning was being a pathetic, whiny, little bitch![:D]
