Stories that Bully People on here by Name

If you see someone posting a nasty story about someone in particular, do you do the following?

Join in so the bully doesn't target you?

Stand up for the underdog?

Or avoid the Conflict altogether?

not a fan of gossip, not a fan of virtue signaling, not a fan of cliques, I left high school a long time ago.

I provide substantive information and mainly use this place as a storage facility for writing. Uninterested in engaging drones.

@therighttothink50 i hear you but there are groups on here who like to bash and chase people off. i am not bullyable

The people I hang with on SW can not be bullied.
They all speak the Truth - the truth is a great ally.
If others notice them getting pushed into a corner
others step in and overwhelm the punk.

I so love the people I hang with here.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Budwick that includes me too!
Budwick · 70-79, M
@akindheart You bet it does!
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Budwick yep. you are my buddy.
Some pretend to be [u][b]innocent when they are not..[/b][/u]



I just come on here to answer questions [b][big]but there is a certain group with a few accounts who love to bully, harass, threaten and label others as things they are not e.g. "Russian" and that kinda bs just coz of different opinions..

And so I stick up for myself against these bullies but maybe best not to do..



And now they are starting to do it on Whiteboard on say..my profile 🤦‍♀️😂🤣


[/big][/b]
@akindheart lol ended up blocking 🤷🏼‍♀️
akindheart · 61-69, F
@PrincessRoarBuddy well you tried!!
@akindheart haha yes
Either the second or the third option.
But I don't confront the bully.
I'll PM the one who's being bullied, see how they're doing with it and offer my time and caring. And, maybe a suggestion or two, if they're open to it.

@PhoenixPhail i friend them. it is making a statement

It makes me grrr. It's against TOS for one thing, besides spreading hate and rumor mongering. I don't join in, I usually avoid it/report or depending, may stand up for the underdog.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Magenta that is what i am doing here. showing people that joining a bully is not cool. if they have a problem with someone, let them block them. however, I did write a story about something that happened to me on EP and I am sure you knew the players...it served its purpose

Stand up for the underdog. Speak out against the negativity and offer support to the person being targeted.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Hassanovic007 i distance myself from anyone who attacks a person for their beliefs, or the fact they are different. now if they are abusive, just block.
Hassanovic007 · 36-40, M
@akindheart That's a great approach
It's important to surround ourselves with positivity and respect differences. I appreciate your stance on this. If anyone becomes abusive, blocking them is definitely the right thing to do. Let's continue promoting kindness and understanding.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Hassanovic007 especially with the election here around the corner. it is going to get nasty!
I stand by the underdogs and will stand by them both publicly and in pm if he/she wishes. I can not stand bullies, their actions and mindsets are totally against my sense of justice.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@RobinPhoenix i feel the exact same way. and i did just that recently.
StevetheSleeve · 31-35, M
I like when women call out pervs by name who have been harassing them. It’s against TOS but I think it’s justifiable bullying.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@StevetheSleeve you have to out the pervs. Thats not bullying
SW-User
Avoid. I notice fer sure, but I steer clear. It's low character middle school shit stirring.
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
Just continue to scroll
akindheart · 61-69, F
@FreestyleArt good. Dont join in or you become a bully too
And you can't really effectively report them because there is no specific category for this type of behavior without triggering an [b]auto block[/b] , while the guilty party just carries on. With algorithms, one report means and accomplishes nothing.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@LoneVoice i heard about that. If you flag someone so many times, you get in trouble. And yes they just put up more profiles

akindheart · 61-69, F
@SW-User because they will turn on us too

@akindheart who cares if they do? It's the internet
RuyLopez · 56-60, M
I say Fuck 'em.
originnone · 61-69, M
normally, I ignore it. if I'm on my best behavior I reason with the bully. if I'm behaving poorly, I retaliate....
akindheart · 61-69, F
@originnone if i dont' know the person, i am not taking sides. but i do listen to what they have to say. it is their battle not mine
Strongtea · 22-25, M
I would most likely join in so I don’t get picked on.

@Lilnonames I stand up for people too. it is the right thing to do.
@Lilnonames hey, what does the warning look like on ur own profile? Good that you stick up for others but shame that they report you.
