I think someone who bullies people online simply isn't fulfilled in life. Emotional poverty, lack of social life or simply just not happy in life.

On properly moderated sites it shouldn't be possible, on sites not so well moderated you see people being downright awful and cruel, on reasonably moderated sites you get people resorting to bullying under the radar. Meaning they go about it in such a sneaky way, dress it up to make it look prettier, that it cannot easily be judged bullying or intimidating.

Kind of silly that even adults still do this. I used to think it was a young child's thing. Unfortunately it does happen.

An social media influencer (forgot where she was from) took her own life recently because people were bullying her on her instagram posts :(

Here is another definition : An umbrella term, cyberbullying encompasses many harassing behaviors, but boils down to “willful and repeated harm inflicted through the use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices” [Source: Cyberbullying Research Center].

The problem with bullying is it is subjective and often comes down to the mindset and values of the person , how sensitive they are and how they define bullying and how they interpret communication/interaction .

Disagreeing with someone is not bullying

Personality clashes are common in any situation were strangers interact . That does not equate to bullying . Just like in real life there are people we just do not connect with .

Sometimes people do not understand the difference between posting a topic and posting a topic that invites personal scrutiny . The latter opens up the opportunity for the person’s behaviour /experience to be discussed . A little like the rate me section . Some are offended by the feedback . That is not bullying either. If someone seeks a personal opinion they need to accept there will be positive and negative feedback .

This site is moderated . I am sure bullying behaviour is not tolerated .


Totally agree with Cleve’s post about victim mentality .

Well, thus far YOU, Ladywind & Cleve, and Wiki have just depicted the Micro, while Macroscopic Bullying is rampant, especially since and throughout last year. Facebook & Twitter routinely bully conservatives by disabling their accounts. Last year when an unhinged feral junkie fails to go peacefully with law enforcement, remaining so under the influence of Fentanyl and Meth, a butterfly could have induced respiratory failure. A nationwide collection of Marxist Minions and those inadequately anthropologically removed from their origins so easily manipulated by Marxists in Media, in government and in Academia AND those professionals in the "Race Market", "pretended to protest" such that they could bully OUR entire Republic.....inflicting BILLIONS of DOLLARS of Damage.Theft & Pyromania AND FEAR upon millions of innocent, victimized citizens...

Bullying is an Essential to the Marxist Proletariat..... ... With our Public Schools nothing than K=12 Marxist Indoctrination... ... Just HOW can we expect NOT to cultivate generations bullies.

Hear Hear!
