Highschool kids harrassed for being gay on facebook


So what? Delete it. Defriend them. Move the hell on.
If you are gay and someone calls you gay... I don't see the problem.
If you are not gay and someone calls you gay... ok? You know you're not gay... so who cares?
If you stop caring, they stop bothering you.

I am so sick of this bullying **Filtered** that is going around right now, every human that has ever lived and will lived will get insulted, will get picked on, will get bullied. It is the nature of the beast. Instead of raising children to be emotionally incapable of being able to handle someone calling them fat, or stupid, or gay, or a sissy, or whatever the kids are saying these days... you should be teaching children to ignore it. Speaking as one hell of a troll, to a whole forum full of trolls, do you really give a damn if someone gets upset when you call them a name? No. Half the time, if not all the time, you do it to get that reaction anyway. STOP FEEDING THE TROLLS and they will stop bothering you. Its the age old advice any smart parent gives a child that is being picked on, if you start going along with the joke, they will stop doing it as it will no longer be fun. Being called a name? Embrace it and just have fun with it.

Bullying exists and it is a problem. But with all this hypersensitivity running around abusing the moments when it is not bullying or not severe, all you are doing is taking away from those that truly do need help or protection. If everything becomes a hate crime, those truly being hated against will be lost in a sea of lesser evils and never truly assisted.


Would you say that if somebody on this forum takes their own life?

People should not be persecuted for who they are, people should be persecuted for not allowing people to be who they are.


1- It wouldnt bother me in the least as far as feeling guilty

2- i agree, but in my many years of life and experience I have found that those that scream prejudice and discrimination are the most prejudice and discrimiatory of all. You **Filtered** and moan about acceptance yet you only accept those that accept your lifestyle or whatever the case may be.

Re: Cyber Bullying

I'm a bully? Now that's a first.

Wonder why my post count is so low? Thats because I was deleted. Why you may ask?
Well, thats because I exposed the truth about Zeratul and Admin Jason had to cover it up.

Perhaps you should read.


Field Marshall wrote:I concur, however, there are examples where the trolling becomes past trolling, for example my Robert bait. It was too much, especially after he's been warned and banned. People have shown a very special spot for him in their lives, to persecute and attempt to make him do something stupid. Me included. Some mods etc. I don't pretend to have the solution and don't know if there is one. However, to knock it down based on everyone jumping on a bandwagon and having a bit of fun or that you think some people are being hyper sensitive.

I still think it should be though and posting guidelines and code of conducts would be smart or even considered.


If your going to post, don't **Filtered** bring your baggage in. I don't give a **Filtered** about nothing. Werdz, however, the persecution of others, which was also bought up in my other thread is wrong.

Whether I contributed or not, it's not a finger pointing exercise. Not everything revolves around you.

Re: Cyber Bullying

There is no need for such a rule.

I kinda figured people would want us to get rid of some rules on this forum, not add to the already long list of them...

Nah, apparently people agree with Haz, and want every single little thing they could possibly do in violation of the rules to be defined word for word. :) Threefold hurray for censorship and heavy-handed moderating.

Ah well. The opinions expressed in this thread are hardly representative of the community. Just a few 'very vocal' minority members. ;) That said, the idea itself warrants consideration (like we just did), before being dismissed again. :-D

Re: Cyber Bullying

If anybody here has a decent memory, you can agree with me when I say I'm the foremost expert on this subject.

It happens. You can try to avoid it, run away, etc, but it'll eventually catch up with you. Deal with it by massing them back, putting a price on their head, etc.

Play the game!

Was wondering when I'd get dragged into this...

Not every little thing defined word for word. Just trying to avoid loopholes.

Just a note, for those arguing it, I don't feel bullied by users massing me for forum actions. I just wonder why they can't see where they are going wrong :P

Apart from applying a ban or a warning to them (lets assume the warning is just), where have I wronged them?

Re: Cyber Bullying

I have found the mods and the community very welcoming, tolerant, understanding and well informed.
Unusually so, in my experience of online communities.

Online ego attacks are even easier to commit, the social restraint is less, the sense of connection is almost zero, bullying is a problem in the real world, from the schoolroom, to the workplace to the board room.

To survive online you have to have some tolerance for trolls. AKA, "grow a pair of what makes a man a man"
A continuing pattern of harassment on this forum? I have no doubt it would be noticed and acted upon.

+1 to Haz.
If they do not see where they are going wrong, perhaps the warning will help. If it doesn't the ban might.

I in no way even remotely hinted you wronged anyone.
I said you do not see where you are going wrong.

Where am I going wrong in regards to R0B3RT or DDE other than applying a ban to them when they have accrued their third warning? (I don't believe I'm doing anything wrong there, it just happens to be me who is the first to see the ban request).
