I was just wondering
The Blind Eternities forum
Posted on Aug. 26, 2015, 6:56 p.m. by DERPLINGSUPREME
has anyone ever experienced any form of bullying, and if so, how did you deal with it?
please know, I am NOT asking this because I am being bullied; everyone here is very nice. I was simply asking because not only do feel this will be a good resource in the future, but also because its good to talk.
as another question, has anyone experienced any forms of bullying on our glorious site of T/O? if so, how?

IM was bullied on here, in my opinion.
Anyways, I was bullied for stupid shit in mostly sixth grade. Seventh grade I was bullied towards the end of the year. I just kind of ignored it and used all that bullying and pent up anger on track. I was running 5 minute miles in seventh grade lol. That sure as hell showed them. Right? ...right? Personally I would just find some good friends and hit the gym to get some exercise to deal with it.

I've been bullied since elementary school. I was short and fat until 8th grade when I grew to 6ft. Even now I still get bullied. Joined the high school football team my freshman year thinking it would help stop the bullying, but it didn't. Now football is just a way to direct my anger and focus myself. And I guess after so many years of the same thing being said you develop thick enough skin to where words don't affect you.

NoPantsParade now that you've mentioned it, a lot of users sort of get that treatment. We've had plenty of dog piles but luckily they're getting better

Yeah, but IM's was a bit excessive. Although he did bring it onto himself, no one really deserves to be bullied like that.

Who exactly is IM? I've heard the name, but never knew who they were talking about.

He started out as an admitted troll, then tried to become part of the community. He was not very welcomed for any of the things he had to say because everyone already had a taste for him.
This community seems to pile on pretty quick. I would not say this place is exempt from the norms of groups of people.
I am not sure what you are trying to get at with this post exactly, but I think another point of view would be that from those who have done the bullying.
Do you see yourself becoming a victim of a bully soon? I would say if you experience bullying, face it head on. That means something different in each situation. Those who sit back will see abusive tendencies continue.

Irl- yep. All throughout school. I lost the genetic lottery through puberty and had pretty bad acne that i ended up needing speacial medicine for. This lead to genrally cruelty. Also playing mtg every day didn't help.
How did i cope? I kept to a close knit group of good people. There's always good people out there even if they seem odd or eccentric at first. Stick with these types of people. They're better in the long run.
Here? Not much. There's a few users I go out of my way to avoid because i dislike their demeanor or attitude but for the most part it's pretty damn hard to be flat out bullied on this forum. Too many good people there to stop it. Funny side note, i started my friendship with a few users here through extremely heated debates. Fun times
