I would like to add:

Harrassment also comes in emails filled with viruses...usually in the hidden .exe form or in attachments. This is particularly bad if you've set Outlook Express' preview pane to auto start...automatically opening the email upon starting the client. Using anti-virus protection such as AVG helps in filtering this.

After finding a niche and creating a unique site, I've been receiving strange emails for several years. I did some research and found most bullys tire of this after 6 months so I guess I'm being harrassed by a real psycho.

I just saw on the tube where some teen hung himself after being cyber-bullied...I believe anytime communicating can be done anonamously, it's a fertile environment for bullying.

Sites on cyber-bullying are popping up all over with one common thread. Do not respond to said bullying because it's what the bully lives for. Most bulletin board software has an ignore button so the bully's posts will not display.

lol this topic itself makes me laugh. i think people who take too much offense from random people need to lighten up a little bit.

No, I think civilized people are entitled to expect a certain degree of mutual respect. What you propose is that we all cave in to crudeness and fatalism and cynicism. That we should just take it on the chin and not think a thing about it. Let ourselves be beaten up.

That reminds me of the cartoon in a Robocop film. A kid in the schoolyard gets beaten up and gets blamed for not using a steroid product that would pump him so he doesn't have to be afraid. In short, blame the victim.

It is a choice we make. We can bolster ourselves, build in our sensitivity, our soul in a castle, man the walls and attack everyone on sight knowing they should get over our attacks. I find that a negative way to behave as a way of dealing with other human beings. Or we can choose to respect each other and make an effort to be civil.

icmag is the largest and most diverse international canna-community on the web

it appears that the powers that be are putting great effort to evolve and appease the masses for a total cost of $0.00 dollars to members

maybe we should all contribute our best efforts at making this place a decent one

most threads that are bullying contain rounds of trash talk that build up into a frenzy

takes 2 to tango

just my 2 cents

i had to deal with bullying at school (2 high schools)

I still deal with it today, in a different form

I've also had to deal with it from parents, agressiveness, and total bring downs

this is the life man.

but I am happy someone takes the time to deffend people... even if it is just cyber...

I dont think flaming should even be labeled unless the person is a habitual instigator. I chalk that up to people being lazy and not caring about anyone else so they just say stop flaming instead of figuring out who is right or wrong or the jerk or the protagonist (like anyone could tell). The rest of those bullets I have never seen a forum care about. As for bullying as an adult most of those come from the top down in the "system" don't they thats why no one can tell who is right or wrong anymore because all the aholes make all the money and everyone has to work for them and take their stuff warping their moralities to the point they cant discern right from wrong and the flame label is born. One argument is always right and one is always wrong but when you have no moral compass its impossible to tell anything you just think he thinks that way i think this way it doesnt really matter what anyone thinks that is a direct symptom that your morals have been obliterated. Its not enough for a good person to just stop fights he must support the moral position this is something that has been "lost" in modern society.

I just think that it's so sad when people have to become hostile. One guy tried to act like I had a problem because I made a post saying I thought it was sad that they were all fighting over caring about AB390 and 215, etc. (really ridiculous), that many of them were incorrect on their facts, AND that I had basically found nothing of use because most of the posts seemed to be just personal attacks. He implied that I'm not of any caliber as a reporter because I found no use from his negative posts, displaying an arrogant attitude. I'm not bothered by that because I get great reviews on each of my stories and realize so many people make assumptions about what a reporter is looking for when that person is working on a story. I just think the attitude is sad and displays a lack of maturity, and the only other thing that bothers me more than that are fake poser people and bigots. I hate trolls.
