Internet bullies

[alaric99x]

I would like to add that when people misspell a word now and then, it's nonsense how some make such a big deal out of it - especially when the same people making a big deal also misspell words now and then.  For people who have dyslexia, aren't English speaking very well, and/or other reasons, things like that should be taken into consideration.  And, for those who do have dyslexia, they should understand how it feels to have people poke at their accidental spelling mistakes.  

Also, doing nonsense things like that takes the thread/topic off of the topic itself and causes problems, not to mention it just makes the ones picking look ridiculous and immature.  Everyone makes mistakes, including the ones who pick on others for making mistakes.

That was my comment, don't always give falcon all the credit.

I do enjoy the amusement when someone makes a long series of hysterical and air-headed comments and then tops it all off by mentioning "obliviously," the word fits so remarkably well with all the previous comments.  Don't try to school me about languages, I speak 2 languages fluently and have a basic knowledge of 4 other languages.  My wife is Russian and speaks English very well, I'm now teaching her German at the same time that she's teaching me Russian.  How many languages do you speak, you self-proclaimed expert?  A stupid mistake like "obliviously" doesn't come from lack of knowledge about a language.  When using a foreign language I've always been very careful to ask or look up words before I tried to use them, it's just simple sloppiness and carelessness when you don't do that and then get caught making infantile mistakes.  Who are you anyway to try to school others in what not to say, an officer of the Gestapo of allowable thread comments?

Or maybe you're a medical professional and have already diagnosed her as being dyslexic according to your analysis of her posts?  Are you reading your own posts before you post them?

Ooohhh!  I'm shaking in my boots - you can archive all you want! 

FC archives these posts, not I, you faith-blinded xtian.

There's nothing to make of it - since you are the one who took something personal when nothing was directed toward you nor FC Forum. 

Since I didn't take it personally, your specious assessment is in error.  The context of this thread is apparent through the content - not what you try to make it about.

It it makes you feel any better, I, too, have an archive full of your false accusations, rude comments, mocking comments, and more.  Tit for tat, right??!! 

No false accusations were made against you; every observation can be substantiated and therefore, they are not false.  As for your misperceptions of "rude" or "mocking comments", those are your specious opinions and not objective facts.  My opposing view is that religious proselytizing is 'rude, attempted brain-washing and promotes an insidious mind-virus', (which I can and have substantiated).

Oh, and my "blind faith" isn't empty - 

Your empty belief that your belief isn't empty remains unsubstantiated by valid evidence.  It remains a circular and self-serving opinion without merit because no evidence supports such "faith", (which is what makes it blind).

I know we don't "archive" them, funny guy, but I do make/save/print copies and that was what I was speaking on.  Not everyone is as stupid as you apparently think they are.

Oh, yes, many and most of your comments, directed towards Christians especially, are indeed what I said they are, whether you want to own up to it or not.  You know exactly what you are doing, trying to prove, and enjoying every minute of it.  You cannot stand when someone/others actually stand up to you and make you accountable for your words and actions.  You are not the bigger person you must think you are, especially picking on others who are genuinely sharing things with each other.  A bigger person would handle themselves, in a forum, with a little more effort towards courteousness, respectfulness, and decorum.  You do offer those nice things to anyone not labeled as a Christian, or believer in Christ, and it's so obvious, that it's ridiculous, pitiful, and humorous, all at the same time.

Why separately archive posts that FC routinely archives?  Are you stalking or simply obsessed?  I have a girlfriend and don't need a 'groupie'.

Oh, yes, many and most of your comments, directed towards Christians especially, are indeed what I said they are ...

In your 'opinion', (which has not been demostrated to be factually-based).  The xtian belief system is riddled with lies, (faith-based falsehoods), murder, (inquisitions, crusades, witch-hunts, etc.), and specious superstitions, (no evidentiary basis).  These are only "rude" and such to those holding blind faith in xtianity.  To anyone else looking at the matter objectively, the foregoing is an accurate observation - it's just one you don't like.  You've characterized such as "rude", etc. before; not because you've been able to refute those observations, but because they're inconvienent facts which you don't like.

You cannot stand when someone/others actually stand up to you and make you accountable for your words and actions.

I hold myself accountable for what I post and don't require some faith-blinded xtian fundie to pretend she's "standing up" to rational dissent with irrational babbling. 

A bigger person would handle themselves, in a forum, with a little more effort towards courteousness, respectfulness, and decorum. 

There you go again; trying to coerce non-opposition via faux appeals to "courteousness, respectfulness, and decorum".  Why do you persist when that tactic has failed again and again? 

You do offer those nice things to anyone not labeled as a Christian, or believer in Christ, and it's so obvious, that it's ridiculous, pitiful, and humorous, all at the same time.

The solution would appear to be not self-declaring as a xtian.  After all, no one is coercing them to propagandize specious religious proselytization which means others can choose to oppose it once its posted in open forums.

You are so blinded by your dislike of any talk of God that you take it out on any Christian or believer.  Oh, and by the way, you are are doing exactly what you accuse me of doing.  Another example of having to be the one in control, never wrong, and only directed towards believers. 

Oh, and separately archiving?  It's none of your concern, now, is it?  There are many times people have had to go back for certain reasons, at a later date in time.  Don't flatter yourself - no groupie here...   

[falcon9]

You are so blinded by your dislike of any talk of God that you take it out on any Christian or believer.

On the contrary, I'm not blinded by religious faith and have consistantly challenged the blind erlgious faith espoused, (though every attempt made by xtians to justify their blind faith has failed because of the lack of evidentiary basis).
 

Oh, and by the way, you are are doing exactly what you accuse me of doing.  

No false accusations have been leveled by me against you since they are neither false nor, accusations.  They are factually-substantiated by the evidence of your own posted words.  Should you wish to dispute your own words by claiming "goddidit", that can be challenged for substantiating evidence as well.

Oh, and separately archiving?  It's none of your concern, now, is it?  There are many times people have had to go back for certain reasons, at a later date in time.  Don't flatter yourself - no groupie here...   

It isn't my concern unless you plan on using misquotes/out-of-context quotes in your campaign to suppress opposition to your specious religious proselytizing pogram of propaganda.  Otherwise, you're just a faux-groupie wannabe.

[sherryinutah]

I don't have a lot of patience for bullies, either.  I think it is possible; however, to refuse to allow yourself to be bullied.

If a person is projecting a belief that they are a victim they might attract a bully.  By choosing to come from a place of self love and self respect we rise above the negativity. 

We can always refuse to be offended and we can refuse to take things personally.  It's our choice and it's part of being accountable for our own experience.

I agree that you are not blinded by religious faith - I said you were blinded by your "dislike" of anything religious/faith talk.

I'm not trying to "suppress" anyone of anything - that's your wording there.  You show attempts of doing that with your same old things you always do to anyone posting something religious, just because you don't like it.  

They are not "misquotes/out-of-context" quotes - they are right there, typed out, just as said by everyone and seen by everyone.  

Ha ha ha ha!  I had to laugh at your "faux-groupie wannabe."     Although hilarious, there's no truth to being one of them, lol.

Good points.  I like what you said, too, with your last 2 sentences.

Today,bullying news &media is world wide due to internet access &modern top the line media equipment.My question is wht makes these kids of today more special orweaker than their 1960'-1970's counterparts?Are kids today being caddled or overprotected to the point when he/she clashes w/another; this kid doesn't have the feedback or experience to respond correctly to the threat?Like never lettin kid fall down &allowin him/her to learn to pick themselves up on their own.Has the banding of spanking your own child in public makin more a problem then a help.Spare the rod spoil the child!The no child left behind Actl, so we're going to let kids pass no matter what b/c we don't want to hurt the kid's feelings!:crybaby2: My nieces told me that when they play sports everyone gets a prize even the ones who lost!

As a kid I was bullied too but dealt w/it yr after yr mostly in silence. No matter how many blows I took whether mental or physical there was one thing I was absolutely sure of....I'm fighting these *bleep* till, I'm dead or I end up killing them!I never though of killing myself; ya,l ike me being dead's going to make them sorry!

@8yrs nobody cared a/o myself esteem when held back to 1st grade due to an auto accident!
Growing up spanking & being screamed at in public was like Sunday's ritual for parents to blow off steam. It wasn't a rod but I recall being belted may times.No police,socialwork,etc.ever showed up to stop my parents from abusing me in public.In sports 1team wins &1team loses.In School you study hard;it up to you passing or not passing the class!Test anxiety, deadline challenged,unlimited time test time & no ADHD terms.You tried that stunt in the late 70's you'd be laughed out to the university!   So, I wonder kids from the 70's why are we tougher/stronger than today's kids?

I guess continuing on this path will probably lead us to putting our kids in a protective bubble like the Boy in the bubble! Or maybe toughing them up as they grow will give them a backbone & experience to be able to handle any bullying encounters.
Also, giving them the knowledge in the law, rules & regulations of the schools will give your kid the ammunition to face bullies.Knowledge is power & bullies also use the same methods to mentally or physically break their victim will.

thank you !!!! im just in a amuse now and i find some users that i havent seen before makes comments and it seems interesting to read. unlike others who felt guilty of this and responded. when i meant as civil pple should be civil in a adult matter... we have kids here too  

Yes, i do think cyber bullying occurs, just as "regular" bullying occurs. There are lots of reasons why, too many to list, but it is a shame that it exists. Wasn't there a case recently with facebook or myspace bullying that resulted in a teen committing suicide? Sad.

That is all you can say in that situation, as the saying goes. Was it just "internet bullying." did these people actually track down the victim in person and forced them into suicidal submission? The fact that things like this are publicized on a massive level shows you what the internet makes available to those who are looking for it. do you think that "victim" would have committed "suicide" if he or she did not have access to a computer? who knows, right? it could have very well been something that person was reading or doing aside from facebook and myspace.

exactly and its interesting that these bullies here have no concerns on that persons health... very good point sir..

We can always refuse to be offended and we can refuse to take things personally.  It's our choice and it's part of being accountable for our own experience.

 

  absolutely agree miss

interesting topic here... and like i said again absolutely agree with your opinion on this..

I really like what you are saying here.  It's this "politically correct" mess that is to blame for so much of what is going on in today's society.  Also, many children are not disciplined consistently so their behavior is lacking with respect, responsibility, and accountability.  And many of their parents don't hold them accountable, or don't care, or are the same way - which is what children will imitate.  As a teacher, there is such a change in many students' behavior and attitude toward teachers and authority - they aren't worried about consequences with their parents, for trouble they get into at school, and schools are very limited in how they are allowed to deal with them.  I could go on, but it's pretty much the same thing you are saying.

I agree that you are not blinded by religious faith - I said you were blinded by your "dislike" of anything religious/faith talk.

The ability to reason isn't blinding, although it does tend to 'innoculate' one against religious blind faith, (which is likely why it's abhored by religious believers so vehemently).

They are not "misquotes/out-of-context" quotes - they are right there, typed out, just as said by everyone and seen by everyone.

I was referring to any potential future misuse of archived posts to serve an agenda, if cherry-picked.
  

Ha ha ha ha!  I had to laugh at your "faux-groupie wannabe."     Although hilarious, there's no truth to being one of them, lol.  

Good.  My girlfriend advised me that I have no need of such groupies and that any I do have should be returned semi-intact.
