Well I certainly like the name a certain sadness….it shows a certain something :)
and I am not sure about the big fish… tiddlers more like :wink:
I liked O’Malley’s post, but as it is so long I won’t quote it here.
I would like to add my take on things:
1. there are people who attention seek by attacking others in chat rooms not caring what they do or say, but do it because it gives them notoriety, as O’Malley said in his post.
2. there are those that attention seek by being victims… although they may not necessarily really be victims, but just perceive themselves as such and love the attention they get from everyone saying ohhh poor you blah blah. These kinds of people often have bad things happening to them and are constantly looking for emotional support.
3. There are also people who do neither of the above, but just come on line for a bit of a laugh, who are just themselves,
4. and there are also people who hate that kind of people, because they are difficult to bully, are not attackers or victims and don’t fit into any specific category, and are therefore not controllable in any way.
5. So in fact the fifth type are the controlling types, who want to know everything they can about as many people as possible and consider knowledge as power. If someone won’t play ball with them and “confide” in them, they get the hump. They try and control people by “knowing things” about them, and can turn on people in an instant.
Anybody I’ve missed? Am sure i’ve missed out some major groups of people, but we all know about the players and the fabricators so am not going to repeat what was such a good post by O’Malley.
bottom line is that there will always be bullies in chat rooms, and there will always be people who thrive on being bullied and the attention that gives to them. And no, I am not suggesting Sue is one of those kinds of people, she has clearly demonstrated that she belongs firmly in group 3.
Anc.. you seem quite upset by someone calling you a skank. Why worry if you know you aren’t one? I could say methinks you doth protest too much, so it has obviously touched a nerve.
And.. the dance is to reggae and as far as I know the size of your bottom is not relevant, but having rhythm is! :)
the sad thing is that there are lots of youngsters out there who think animal cruelty is ok. Many cats have been tortured, and it isn’t a new thing…there were stories of cats having fireworks attached to their tails when I was young. I am pretty sure it will turn out to be teenage thugs who are responsible and I wonder if these events are connected. I hope they catch them.
If we are to keep pets, and animals in captivity it is up to us to make sure they are safe. The farmer in question obviously didn’t think he needed to protect his animals. But should all farmers bring all animals in for the night to protect them from people like this? I guess we may end up returning to the days where shepherds protect their flocks at night! Well okay, in this instance we are talking about cows and horses, but you get my gist.
A farmer’s son in the farm next door to my sister, killed all her angora goats with a rifle. He said they had wandered onto his land, but he was a teenager and my sister reckoned he was just having target practice. She lost eight goats that day, and was devastated. The father paid her for the eight goats, but that is hardly the point! She was left with one pregnant goat later gave birth to twins, she had been in a pen near the house as she was so heavily pregnant, so avoided the massacre. My sister won’t keep goats now!
Am not sure he would mind one way or the other.. but ok.
Is Fawlty Towers still open?
Bullying takes many forms. Spreading rumours that are not true is just one way of bullying. Spreading rumours you think may be true, but probably aren’t, but you feel like spreading them anyway because you don’t like the person the rumours are about, now that is truly scum behaviour.
Anc….I don’t know you very well, if at all, but turning this thread into a dig at Kenty is pretty low. And who gives a flying f cuk who slept with who and when? I really don’t get why people are so interested in others’ sex lives. Bottom line is, that they probably aren’t interested at all, its just another way to try and have a go and upset someone.

sighs…. that was the biggest load of pish you ever claimed mims ! so su is to therefore press the OFF button ? you know damm well one of your main Friends is one of the biggest stalkers here? thing is yer dagger is not the Main man ! ok your tired. but WHY should folks cower! and switch off ?
Dagger and joker have been quiet recently, as has Doa himself. Thats the thing , when the main givers of abuse go quiet, it opens up another avenue for wannabes.and therefore much sadder folks,to step into the breach. a negative attention is better than none, to some Sad Fvckers.:evil:
Its not pish rubes…. it is simple truth. If online folks cause you aggro, and you cannot deal with it, take it too seriously or are too hurt by what is going on, then of course people should give it a rest until some form of perspective returns. Stalking on the net is a form of bullying that you can avoid. Try avoiding bullying in the workplace! On the net, you can block and ignore and delete and if that fails.. yes, switch off.
Online, just as in the real world, we cannot expect everyone to like us and we in turn cannot expect to like everyone we come across. It just isn’t possible. There are also some very mentally disturbed people using the net, vulnerable people and people who have persecution complexes and the like. Sites like this, facebook etc, they feed into people’s paranoia if it exists in the first place.
The bottom line is.. if you can’t take the heat, get out of the fire. I do think this site tries to moderate and keep scum to a minimum, and they take acusations of stalking and the like seriously. But when you get people falsely accusing others of stalking and abusing them, when in fact they have just been dumped or scorned, how can this site deal with the real cases? There are plenty of people trouble making and lying for the hell of it. Things are not always what they seem. And I know I didn’t moderate for very long, but I was very aware of that happening when I was doing the job.
*waves to Noddy*
hmm I better be in the friends bracket or I’m going to have to do serious damage to a caravan!
