(55,027 posts)how does that work? I have seen a few people claim that, but posting stupid shit and having a lot of responses doesn't constitute bullying to me. following someone around the internet, doxing, or harassing them off line, or at work...that is getting there.
even some of the mean shit I have seen done to people here don't constitute "bullying" to me. behaving like an asshole isn't the same as bulling to me. not saying that kind of thing isn't painful for the recipient, it is and it probably can feel like bullying (if they aren't a troll deliberately stirring shit and just laughing to themselves), but there are tools to stop the impacts and some don't seem capable of using them.
picking fights on a discussion board? um, isn't that one of the main reasons they exist?
