Regarding Supposed TPF Bullies and Abuse Towards Newbies

[AgentDrex]

Right? I agree. This place has been a positive experience for me.

You would have LOVED The Pact.

..someone was requesting a list of the clique, just a moment ago..:mrgreen:

The problem with Internet forums is that the responses are flat. You cannot see the face or body language of the poster so you almost have to take any response with a grain of salt until you get a feel for the people who do respond to you. I also believe that if you open the door for C&C you better be ready for it all and if there are any ambiguous posts, ask the poster what he/she meant instead of going off thinking you were just handed over to the wolves. Shoot, I can't count the number of times I've laid out a response that I had to revise because it sounded harsh even though I never intended it that way.

To date, the only one who's hurt my feelings was Charlie!

Which one?

There are some pompous twits here, But I am starting to enjoy giving them shiiiit back, And the rest of you lot are jokers, sarcastic,talented, bafoons... who obviously have been bantering with each other for a while, Well that is my month long subscription opinion .. As for bullying, I have big shoulders bring it! I can't wait to start uploading photos taken on my new cam for critique from you old goats! I shall take it on the chin and better myself with the help of you all, That is the whole point of the site

I love you. I'll make sure to give you a call the next time I visit Plymouth, UK to bully you some.

Lol

Wow.

I escalated the bullying by "requesting" a stop to it??? Here I thought I was attempting to show we need to reconsider our own attitudes towards the subject so that we openly discuss ways to prevent it. To not just wait for someone else to put a stop to it but to come together as a society to minimize if not nullify it.

I'm not quite sure what you would like to have done about it. Shall we not discuss it? Society seems to shun the discussion and nothing seems to be changing for the better as a result. Shall I disregard my ideas about being able to talk with others to resolve issues and just be like everyone else and keep shut about it? If so, I can certainly do that. I in no way meant to offend anyone by posting this thread. Having said that, I guess I'm not sure how anything bad in life is supposed to get better. Here I guess I am wrong in my conclusion that change comes from people discussing wrongs, the possible changes we can make that could turn them right and the actual working on the change. Is that even arguable? I mean, who in their right mind would argue against that? But I've been told I have a limited viewpoint for some reason, so I guess they know my view better than I.

You've requested a stop to that which you said there is no evidence of. If that's not the crowning glory of silly escalations I don't know what is.

Perhaps there are a variety of other things not happening on TPF that you should demand an end to... Here are some suggestions for you to get you moving....

- I demand an end to puppy kicking photos on TPF. This must stop!
- I insist that the mods put a ban on discussions about how to create home made drugs using a harmonica and tinkertoys! Won't someone PLEASE think of the children?!
- We must no longer stand for the rampant folding of space within the black and white galleries! This practice must be squashed!

I am fast, but I get easily distracted when I hear a female speaking in British.
