FORUM BULLYING
I have began to notice some who seem to take commenting on this forum to a certain extreme such as that of one who suffers from "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder." This disorder is defined as an, “anxiety disorder characterized by recurrent and persistent thoughts and feelings and repetitive, ritualized behaviors.” (Sort of like over commenting and bullying people via forums sound familiar?)


I mean it’s okay to occasionally leave a comment on a post that is interesting to you, and that you may have wanted to share your view about, but when those comments turn into a back and forth match with large dominating pictures and masses of other peoples web pages, of personal attacks against another and their views, then there may be more of a problem that stems much deeper than the Forum. People who have to get the last word, who seem to harass you simply because you did not agree with them, who try and make personal attacks against your character all in the favour of appearing knowledgeable.
The fact is that most excessively dominant people are usually bullies. Bullies are deep-down very insecure people. They may well be dominated in other area's of their lives. They dominate on forums because they are too insecure to allow other people to have any influence, and this is the one place they can get away with it. This behavior is generally conditioned from childhood for one reason or another. The dominant bullying behavior is effectively reinforced by the response given by 'secure' and 'non-assertive' people to bullying. The bully gets his or her own way. The bullying dominant behavior is rewarded, and so it persists.” Believe it or not, one should have sympathy for bullies because they too are victims
Ironsmad, GreenBlue seek help.

There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.

Norton, thankyou for your contribution. I hear you obviously have bullying issues. I'm sorry to hear this and that strong and empassioned debates not your thing. Norwich Councilloring Centre is pretty good. Mads got his own views , great contributions, Fine. Forums are for debate, sometimes strong, disagreement; not teletubby. My experience is those that talk about OCD, BPD, NPD have been reading too many BS therapy/self help/ clinical literature for their own good and confidence, IMO

Re: FORUM BULLYING
GreenBlue is right, it's nothing more than an attempt at meaningful debate. The methods used may at times be a little strange, but I doubt there is malicious intent behind it. Ironsmad has, in my opinion, got some questionable views on the world in general, but I'm not gonna stand and hurl insults at him, I'd rather convince him through reasoned debate, and, in his defence, he attempts to do the same, often by referencing what he has written with weblinks to back them up (though I would argue that anything from the Daily Mail website doesn't consitute evidence :-P ).
