Sorry guys, you made your bed, now you have to lie in it

You knew bullying a user by name is not allowed here. But you decided to have your fun because the person in question was someone who upset you in the past, and other people were doing it as well.

You knew this was escalated and that it would be reviewed by the admins.

You had plenty of time to back off or delete your comments.

You didn't and now you've been sanctioned.

It's happened to me too for way less.

I wasn't happy about it either, but I took my punishment, and tried to learn from it.

You should all do the same, especially the users who have been here awhile, KNOW its wrong but did it anyway.

You know... This... This is precisely what bothers me with certain "popular" people.

THEY do wrong
THEY know it is wrong, regardless of the reason.
THEY get people sticking up for them - because... its them and they "are going through a lot".

Yeah... I'm dealing with the loss of a close friend of mine just over a week ago, my cousin passed away today and I'm still dealing with getting my illnesses diagnosed. I'm going through a lot, too... but, you know, I've never been rude enough to warrant a warning banner on my profile or even have my entire account suspended.

Wrong is wrong, no matter who you are or how popular you might be.

Using a vendetta as a reason to mass report a member and get their account closed is just wrong, too... but I know that it happens and it happens right here on SW.

It's time that we were all adults here and stopped being so petty because it affects people... it affects people in ways that you wouldn't think it would and we need to accept our punishment as the men and women that we claim to be.

@SumKindaMunster I can't help but wonder if I might be too sensitive to be on here right now, though??? 🤔

I wrote a serious reply to your post... and, I notice that someone finds it funny - it's not funny. I can't do funny just yet.

@HootyTheNightOwl spoken like a true president ,Im moved

Who are we bullying why wasnt I invited

SW-User

Sometimes those posts can be cathartic. Especially if the person in question is nasty and hateful and is never accountable for their behavior (as in this case).

Against TOS is against TOS. But I understand why these posts happen and why people like responding to them.

@HootyTheNightOwl Yes, or in PM. There are definitely better ways of handling it.

HootyTheNightOwl

@SW-User Sometimes, you can solve things just by talking to the other person... we don't all need to be party to your disputes.

@SW-User who is it?🤔

DarkHeaven ·

I miss everything. Unless it’s happening to me. I kinda wish I could miss that. lol

faithfulhusband · C

which user? i might want to pile on too

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@faithfulhusband C'mon 🙄

Magenta · F

Indeed. I knew it was coming....

Keepitsimple · 51-55, F

It all gets to be bullshit on here. People act like middle school kids on this site and their treatment of others says a lot about who they really are in the outside world.

curious4now · 51-55, F

@Keepitsimple so very true....you hit it 100% on!

SW-User

@SW-User I can't really say. Need to be careful. Suffice to say the people that were involved know exactly what I am referring to.

SW-User

@SumKindaMunster link?Im dying of curiosity😢

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@SW-User It's been removed.

SW-User

Yep, karma right there. 👍 One of the worse bad mouthing posts I've seen here. Don't know how anyone could have missed it, it went on for fooking days.

@HootyTheNightOwl lolz, right? They all knew [b]exactly[/b] what they were doing and saying and it went on for hours and hours. UTTER BS and no excuse.

SW-User

@HootyTheNightOwl Everyone that posted something derogatory bout her should have got a warning, if ya ask me.
She and I aren't even friends in case anyone thinks otherwise. I just hate that childish shit that goes total against TOS.

HootyTheNightOwl

@SW-User It's not just that, though - let's say that you are the one who was hurt by a member... how would you feel about seeing posts asking for this person and calling them "good" for days afterwards???

If they are really that popular and "good" then they wouldn't have so much time to be tearing others down to the point where they got suspended in the first place...

SW-User

It’s good you got this off your chest.

Synyster · 51-55, M

Oh, the online bullying seems to be happening more often on here.

What happened to the old days when it was said face to face?
At least could beat the holy hell out those bullies and feel no remorse.

@HootyTheNightOwl Losing a few battles only makes you stronger, because it's never over.

Synyster · 51-55, M

@DarkHeaven I definitely can see intimidation due to your size.

Ah, never feel bad, maybe they had it coming.

Synyster · 51-55, M

@SW-User
He's making up shit again, you know stirring the pot.

DarkHeaven ·

Was it about me, and I’m blocked so I didn’t know? I have a bad feeling.

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@DarkHeaven No, not about you.

DarkHeaven ·

@SumKindaMunster The ones that go on for days, often times are about me, so it made me wonder. My haters are devoted.

DarkHeaven ·

@SumKindaMunster Yeah, I know who now, though. People need to be nice.

stound

huh. I had no idea. but yeah, it's funny how difficult it is for people to just leave one another alone.

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@stound It can be hard. But there is a line, and we all should know where it is, and when not to cross it.

stound

@SumKindaMunster I like to think I do. but I also get the notion that I use sw significantly differently than a large part of the userbase.

Zaphod42 · 46-50, M

I’m guessing this was some sort of political thing...one side ganging up on an outspoken member of the other side?

SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M

@Zaphod42 Yes something along those lines.

Miram · 31-35, F

@Miram ily🖤🤗

Tminus6453 · M

I was glad to see admins act as fast as they did, that idiot steps over the line quite a bit on here

InOtterWords · F

I think sometimes people get carried away, they forget that the user is a real person with real feelings. I think fair enough to say that you blocked a user but to use the post to attack them is just bullying.

Did someone get banned for it?

@DarkHeaven Nice one. If someone is giving "what they get", using the excuse of they were treated bad, they are exactly like that person, no different

DarkHeaven ·

@SW-User I have feelings about people based on what they have done to me or people I care about but everyone is the hero of their own story and sometimes the full truth is more complicated than just my own perspective on it. Spewing hate on hate just makes the world that much of a colder place. I refuse to be party to it. It’s one thing to get mad momentarily in the heat of the moment. Premeditated hatred is different.

SW-User

@DarkHeaven Good on you, I really dig that! ⛏️😃

@SW-User She let me know. I’m sorry I’m so weird about PM. It’s not personal. You’ve always been a kind friend. I just have a lot of issues and my PM list is super small on purpose. Just a few that I can trust to handle my episodes.
