Bullies are bullies no matter the age. Now, why isn't it OK for kids to be bullied by other kids? And why do you think it is OK for adults to bully other adults? To me, either this behavior is acceptable or it isn't. Which is it? Ok, do you feel bullied here? Bullies are bullies no matter the age. Now, why isn't it OK for kids to be bullied by other kids? And why do you think it is OK for adults to bully other adults? To me, either this behavior is acceptable or it isn't. Which is it?

lainey : gotcha!! thanks for the explanation! ~Lauren~: now, why did you have to go and get personal?? weren't we having a general discussion?? I really don't see how you can seriously make that comment. This thread has been made personal from the very start. Rainbow scrapper has been attacked repeatedly. Lisa has been attacked by Elaine . This Thread has been frought with personal attacks. Why suddenly are you concerned about that?

And I'm proud to wear the intolerant label lost so when I attack those of you who are intolerant of dissenting opinions. So where does that leave us? Everyone is intolerant of everyone else while pretending to be tolerant people

Well, you'll have to hold your breath. Ten years ago, maybe. Today, nah. A message board isn't worth that much energy.

My guess is you don't feel bullied you just enjoy the negative attention and like an idiot I'm continuing to give you it. As Sheldon would say 'peace out'!

Everyone is intolerant of everyone else while pretending to be tolerant people Hopefully with "my" side winning in the voting booths, courts, and laws that get written.
Yay! The supreme court made gay marriage legal in all states! Yay! The supreme court overturned HB2! Yay! The supreme court upheld affirmative action! Yay! My state enacted universal background checks for gun purchases! I want it to be required in all 50 states so my work is not yet done. Yay! The ACA is still law!
And so it goes... even though there are many people who resist progress, it will happen.

What you don't seem to get is that I am in favor of gay marriage, I'm in favor of choice with re abortion and the S Ct did not uphold affirmative action. I am also in favor of backround checks and other reasonable gun control.
On many issues, I'm on the same side as you are so the progress does not negatively impact me in anyway.
I am intolerant of people like you who go after people who feel differently than we do. 'I can believe what you believe without attacking those who believe differently.
Got it now?

"Cyberbullying" is when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones. What do you call it when adults do it? Adults can be bullied by other adults as well.I think adults have the capacity to step away from a situation.... I think the key word here is targeted. No one is targeting anyone. They are simply reacting to what is clearly controversial, incendiary content.

I agree with that. I disagree that bullies take your power. That only happens if you let it. You seem to be saying that a person is bullied only if they change their behavior in reaction to the bullying. I disagree with that. How I react does not determine if the other person is bullying. A bully is a bully regardless of how I choose to react to it.

Show me a single example of a time I "went after" someone who doesn't agree with me. I think you'll be hard pressed to find one. That is just not my style. I am not in the habit of insulting people or calling them names.

~Lauren~-- what I meant by 'getting personal' was by using her pea name... I admit, I haven't been reading every post in this thread word for word, so your post was the first one I remember seeing someone's pea name in with a personal sort of comment about the person (that I didn't see as having much to do with the actual thread topic but apparently you felt differently, which is fine). Right at this moment, I don't remember where in the thread people starting talking about Rainbow personally... I'm sure it's there somewhere, knowing how things go around here-- but the thread was started in a very general tone, so that's what I was referencing. That's all-- if it wasn't the first instance of someone getting personal with their comments, then disregard what I said.

OK, you're right, I'm wrong about affirmative action. You see affirmative action as good. Personally, I see it as something that, in the long run, hurts minorities. But I'm sure you'll disagree.

I didn't call you names or attack you. When another poster asked why you were personally attacking someone, I reminded her, it is a pattern you have. How is that attacking?
Again, provide an example where I attacked, bullied, or engaged with someone inappropriately?

You're arguing semantics. You know full well that your comment was intended to be nasty; ie, an attack. You're going back over 10 years to dredge up stuff and now you're going to play innocent at your intent? After that long, it is no longer a "pattern" as you claim. Your comment was made merely to take a dig. At least own it.
As for the rest, I cannot go back through the old 2 Peas boards, as you well know, and frankly, I don't have the desire to go back through all your posts on this board.
Suffice it to say, I recall you doing it. The fact that you won't even acknowledge your comments with respect to me shows me that you won't acknowledge those either.

I didn't have to go back ten years to dredge stuff up. I only had to go back 10 minutes, in this thread. If you consider my highlighting your rude behavior (behavior that isn't new for you) as attacking, then we have a fundamental difference in the understanding of what it is to attack someone.

I think Elaine's surgery has just fucked up her mind. She has become more combative and hateful in the last year than I've seen her and all the prior years on this message board. It's a shame. She used to stay her views and still be a nice P. I'm sure those who agree with her think she still is but there's a whole lot of us now that simply do not like the person she's become. I too have become more entrenched in my ideas as I have gotten older and feel just as free to express my views as everyone else. And it's a message board. It's not my life. So if I don't feel like talking to you or responding to you anymore Elaine that's really just too bad. I do as I please not what you expect demand I do. Sometimes you are just not worth my time and so I walk away Some of you are far more ugly than you claim I am. I love you, Lauren. I really do. You are a living example of the more things change, the more they stay the same. You keep right on truckin' and believing whatever you want to about people, evidence be damned. I'm good with that.

Well, clearly she does, as my highlighting Lisa's rude words and reflecting her own words back on her was considered attacking. I.e., when Lisa says something at the rest of the posters on this thread - it is a-okay - when I say them back to her, it is attacking. Evidence and logic be damned!

LOL!Yes, it would, but then it would defeat the purpose of all those people who have been hand-slapping posters for supposedly bullying her. And they might not jump to her defense next time. And deprive her of the pleasure of even more attention and having her own personal champions. And I'll bet you an apple AND an orange that she is going to quote you and deny claiming that she doesn't feel bullied.

Then I suppose that yes, we have that fundamental difference. Of course, it's funny how you only choose to highlight certain people's rudeness while the people you like get a pass. But, that's the way it is and I'm not going to change you and you're not going to change me.
