Cyber Bullies

Have you ever encountered posters, not necessarily here, but from other forums and message boards that have no better else to do but attack other posters and always belittling or saying negative things about other member's posts? If so what do you do about these kind of people? As for me, I just ignore these posters because they're just a waste of my time. I think they do these kinds of things to get attention.

I'm sort of a cyber bully. I run a blog that criticizes people. But my reason for doing harsh criticism is to let them know that they suck and that they need to improve.

At least you criticize for others to improve. Others are just plain rude that they go as low as being insulting when all you just did is express your own opinion.

True, but people hate me for it. They can't accept their own mistakes at times.

Not on this site, but on another site I'm on that is sort of like a social network site for young people, there are quite a few people who go around purposely talking bad, mean, rude, whatever you want to call it. They make it their mission to make certain people feel like crap and its not fair. I have found peoople who go on the forum of that site, and post cruel comments on topics, and yet their comments have NOTHING to do with the topic posted. They did that to me once on there, I had posted a topic about interracial relationships, and there was about three people who came and posted comments about me being old, and fat. They didn't bother me for long because I didn't let them bother me, and I actually laughed about it. Now they are my friends because I stood up to them and didn't let them run me off the site.

I hate those people who attacks you for no apparent reason. If I would be a moderator in that forum, I think I will immediately ban them for the reason that they can't even contribute something good on the discussion and instead attack people just for fun.

Sure I have. And there are a lot of them here. Some are not just negative; they are rude and abusive. If I managed the site, I would warn them about abuse. If it continued, they would be removed from the site. Facebook does it. I do not know why MyLot refuses to remove them.
