Have any of you ever been cyber bullied before?

pretty much in online chat rooms I always got bullied used to be Yahoo or Geocity at the time but I didn't have any friend there anyway so either I ignored or reported them I met my hubby in chatroom too and I never chat online anymore after that I never thought highly of any chatter until I met my hubby, so I never miss chatrooms at all, especially now with mylot :) I don't know if the admin did anything to bullies but who knows these bullies could be admins too, that's why they did what they wanted to do plus I ignored them completely so I wouldn't know what happened to them if any LOL don't give rude people the attention they want. either you ignore or rude back at them or report them if the option is available, other than that keep doing what you like to do. you don't even know them anyway.

I got cyberbullied when trying to raise money for a school that burned down in my city. The bully kept e-mailing me that it was stupid that I sold my stuff to give the profit to the school, because they should have sufficient insurance and otherwise the school was just plain dumb, etc. I cleaned up the language (a lot!), but the e-mails were really nasty and unneccesairy. I had posted this in a special place for adds like these and if you don't want to read them or get pissed off by them just don't go there. I reported the persons e-mail and they banned her. I didn't hear anything from it after that. I hate to be a tell-tale but I couldn't get rid of the e-mailing even after blocking her address. I am glad I took the step to do so because it was really annoying.

I'm not using any social network sites like myspace or facebook so it never happened to me. I sometimes use some forums but I guess one must do something really stupid to get picked on. About bullying on mylot...I'm yet to see that. So far it's just an urban legend

Yes, I have and I'm still a little pissed off about it. It was in a game room in pogo. Our league was looking for a room for dice to add to our league. We went into a room, only one of 2 that pogo said was available and the regulars in the room started calling us names and I mean filthy stuff too. They said they had run leagues out before and would us too. It was awful, they put us on their friends lists and stalked a few of us. We sent complaint after complaint as it was happening to pogo and they did nothing. I contacted a lawyer the next day I was so upset (mostly at pogo). I wanted to go after pogo for breech of their contract with us as they promise to provide a safe environment to play if we promise to play nice. The fact that they did nothing (they have pogo police that pop into rooms for these kinds of complaints) while it was happening and we were sending them the screen shots as well really made me mad. So far nothing has been done, nor have I been refunded my $36.00 annual dues that I had just paid.

Hi ya apples99 I can't say that I have to be honest. Or if I have I have been totally oblivious to it LOl Sometimes ignorance is bliss!

Yes, I have come across cyber-bullies many times in various internet discussion groups I am a member of. I don't respond to them in the same manner. I have a personal rule that I must edit my response to bullies AT LEAST 3 TIMES before I would send it. By the time it gets sent, the other person has cooled. So s/he would be open to a point by point discussion of the items s/he originally put across in a bullying manner. I think my patience really pays off. I help change the person and strengthen the group. Anyway, if s/he continues to bully, the moderators would usually unsubscribe him/her. But I don't like to request people to unsubscribe or the moderators to delist even the bully because I believe in freedom of speech and of expression. But if the bully unsubscribes on his/her own or if the moderator removes him/her from the list, I don't intervene either. I guess I'm not much of a believer and defender of this basic freedom as far as they apply to bullies?

I've experienced cyber bullying but not on a website but on a chatroom. This guy is so rude and I haven't even chatted with him before so I really don't know him. What I did was I invited him in a conference chat with my friends and then we annoyed him there hehe.

It doesn't bother me. When I come across someone like that on the net I just laugh.It is is actually kind of sad when people have nothing better to do then to pick fights on the internet. I report if need be and go on.

I guess that I have not been and I wouldnt normally do it to anyone, but there is one new person on mylot tonight getting on my nerves so bad with these one line discussions. I know if your on here you have to have noticed.

i guess anyone who spends a lot of time online have experienced cyber bullying. i myself have been a victim of nasty messages sent to me in social networking sites but i don't really care about it and i don't even think of wasting my time on those cyber bullies because it's useless and it will only make them want to bully me more if ever i reacted and responded.
