I'm asking people why they enjoy being part of a gang that picks on one poster. I've repeatedly said that he is not the issue, but people seem to want to ignore that. Name and shame time imo.

Guest JTS98 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) I just had a quick check. It's about an hour or so since I first posted about this issue. In that time at least twelve posters have replied to disagree with me or disliked posts on the issue. There are others who have commented but not to me directly so I won't be counting them. That's 12 people who object to posts basically saying you shouldn't bully another poster. ETA: Make that 14. ETA: Make that 16. 16 posters in around an hour object to being asked to not bully another poster. It's really quite staggering. This level of pushback you'd think I'd advocated closing all part-time clubs or something. People really seem to want to be allowed to gang up on someone.

You basically said he should man up. That's absolutely ridiculous. Why are you so keen to not be criticised for bullying someone? Nobody has answered this yet. Please show examples of this bullying. Please do not use screenshots of Bennett saying, "I'm being bullied" as evidence - people lie. Please also explain why if it could be detrimental to Bennett's mental health to receive red dots, why it is ok for him to dish them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite clearly worse to be repeatedly picked on by lots of other people than it is to be part of a group of people who are picked on by one person, who you all pick on anyway. I think that's quite clear. Are you saying you don't understand that? Edited June 5, 2020 by JTS98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 It's a small red circle next to a post on a football forum. Seriously, who gives a shiny shite? -2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think I've been bullying Bennett because I don't think you know what you're talking about, and that this is all virtue signalling on your part to try and win an argument. As far as I'm aware I don't think I've ever red dotted him. It's not a hobby of mine but Bennett seems well into it.

I don't think it's virtue signalling. I don't really think it's an argument. Lots of people bullying another person is shite. People seem to object to this being pointed out. It's an internet forum. People hide behind fake names and fake pictures. We all do. And some people seem to enjoy being part of a group and rounding on one person. Probably gives them a wee self-esteem boost. It's really shite though, and I find it amazing how many people seem to be cool with it. Not just cool with it, but aggressively arguing that it's ok.

MONKMAN Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I've been on the receiving end of a red circle campaign by Bennett, on and off for some time now. My crime was merely highlighting how monumentally stupid he was. I've since put him on ignore, resulting in an exponential increase in the overall enjoyment of my forum experience. Thanks to whoever first suggested this tactic. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I think bullying is an interesting topic. It'd be interesting to see a chart of the mentions of bullying in the media over the last few decades, you can bet it's shot up in the last ten years. It's now common to hear complaints about bullying in environments that you'd never have imagined years ago - the Speaker of the House of Commons has been accused of bullying people, there are currently enquiries ongoing about bullying in the armed forces. Up until not so long ago bullying was something that happened at school and, at least when I was in school, was something that was physical, it was about commiting physical harm to someone else. We were told that name calling was wrong but it wasn't called bullying, that was violence or physical intimidation. In the past the traditional way that bullies would get their comupance in movies and stories would be to be laid out by the long suffering bully - a classic example being Marty's dad knocking out his bully in the original Back To The Future movie. I don't advocate violence but maybe that's a more direct, natural and satisfying response than filing a complaint with HR or referring things to your guidance teacher. In conclusion then, bennet should fight Day of the Lords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just cool with it, but aggressively arguing that it's ok. i just think you've fundamentally misunderstood the dynamic of the dotting community on here. To an outsider like me it's all very weird, but I wouldn't assume to judge. Bennett is an enthusiastic member, and plays by his own rules and alliances. He is not alone.
