ORIGINAL: KnightofMists either way... I have watched how various people have handled themselves in this thread and will be much less interested in what they have to say in the future because of it. Ditto...this I have to agree with. Hello A/all, I teach a children's class which deals both with attacks against children by adults as well as bullying situations with their peers. One way that people are bullied is with overt or covert threats, by the bully, of withdrawing approval or communications, as well as telling the bully "That is up to you, but threatening me with "not being my friend anymore" (or, in this case, "I have a lessened opinion of certain posters on this board") will not make me change my mind." It is fascinating to drill and do this in classes where we teach 5-8 year old kids to stand up for their own opinions despite our (the teachers) best attempts to malign, embarrass, threaten, bribe, yell, whatever, at the student. After a couple of runs through, most of the students get to a point where they simply laugh at the person trying to bully them. Of course, the bully in real life usually gets angry or defensive or argumentative when people laugh at them, so lesson #2 we teach the kids is how to control the urge to laugh at people. Just me, could be wrong, but there you go. Sinergy
