Are There Bullies in Mylot?

I see a lot of discussions that I choose to move past. If I commented with what I actually was thinking they would call me a bully and probably report me.

There are quite a few "characters" here. There is one such "character" that i wholeheartedly ignore. Most seem to find him "charming" or "adorable" whereas I find his antics childish" and "attention seeking." I ignore him, instead of lashing out or stating my opinion, beause it's simply easier to avoid him. Plus I don't really think it's necessary or right to "bully" others. There is one lady here, whom I've recently come to find out more about. I won't state who she is or what I found out, but I will say that she has come across as being somewhat of a "bully." She responded to me not too long ago and said somtehing that was quite insinuating. I simply told her to re-read what I had previously wrote and that was that. She didn't apologize for her behavior and I didn't ask for one. I did report the comment, though I haven't checked to see if it has been deleted. Are there bullies? Sure, there always will be. I don't come across many though.

As far as I am concerned there is no hiding here how some make no bones about their intense dislike for some and vice versa. We cannot mention names here but if that was allowed I would do so quoting responses and comments made and how different they are depending on who they love and who they hate. You do not have to do anything wrong to be hated but perhaps they just cannot bear the happiness of some here while they are burdened with real life issues.

Maybe I am in the nice part of the site, but I have seen no name calling at all here.

I haven't seen name calling (except directed at me recently) but I tend to miss a lot of stuff on here.

That's too bad, but you can't make all of the people happy all of the time... I know I made a comment on a member's discussion - it had reminded me of something in my own life. I got promptly told that "that isn't what this post is about" which was funny since, it kinda was. So I apologized and now avoid that person. When I post, I hope that it will inspire people to remember things... but evidently this person want discussion to be strictly 100% what he wangts.

Oh my, oh my, I went back to the post and I see that this opened a Pandora box. Are there bullies on this site...??? Nooo, of course no

I would not consider blocking someone as bullying...name calling would be bullying.

That's what I want to do here - make friends and have fun. Rather than get into an argument I just move on. I don't think blocking can be taken as bullying, as they are just removing themselves from possible conflict. I've never blocked anyone, ignoring works for me.

Some people will take things wrong or be terribly offended by something no matter what you say or do. You can't fix that.

I think myLot is just like real life. You slowly get to know people and consequently start to know exactly what you can and can't say to different individuals. At the end of the day this is supposed to be a bit of fun for everyone and I think we all need to occasionally take a step back and think before we press that 'Respond' button.

i believe there are some bullies here, and it is in one's perception on how he can defend himself against these bullies. as for me, i can defend myself with my own style. happy to note that the Scorpio is me comes to life when i am bullied, in person or in writing.

I have not encountered such,but yes it should be the most beautiful platform where knowledge and friends are welcome,people should not involve in unsocial acts

JJ is just being JJ. He's funny and spot's right on. Some people can be sensitive that they think they were being "attack" and take it negatively. All I know is that bullying will not happen as long as you won't let it. We can't always be thinking of how the person will feel in every word that comes out in our mouth if we are just pointing out our own ideas.

Personally sometimes I feel as if I am back in Grade school when I see things happening like this here or especially Facebook. So someone blocks someone. So what? Be an adult and just move on.

Wow. I guess i have been away for a while.

I am sure there are some. But then, mylotters are more bully in the old version. I am a victim of this particular person.

If i am blocked, well, i can just shrug t off :))

Nah, I don't think it is bullying...but people can take it however they like.

i did found one guy who argues for every thing.......but a long ago.......
