Members EastMA2 Posted June 6, 2014 Members Share Posted June 6, 2014 The gifs were bullying. Johnny would say something and a gif would be posted that ridiculed him. Such a negative board. Boy, has Maura been knocking it out of the park this week, especially with Laura Wright! She's fantastic and Ron is writing great stuff for Maura. No wonder that she is so happy at GH.

Members katie_9918 Posted June 7, 2014 Members Share Posted June 7, 2014 It was not bullying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 7, 2014 Members Share Posted June 7, 2014 But did they call "out of his name," as it were? Did they ever insult him verbally, threaten him or prevent him from posting any further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katie_9918 Posted June 7, 2014 Members Share Posted June 7, 2014 No. But apparently in this day and age of softness, a hilarious picture of someone laughing is now called bullying. The word bully and any derivatives need to be struck from the English language for the next decade. It's already being abused, as evidenced by the complaints in this thread.

Members Khan Posted June 7, 2014 Members Share Posted June 7, 2014 IA. What goes on in situations such as these is nothing compared to what many teenagers are exposed to via social media and the like. That is true bullying, and it's tragic.

Members EastMA2 Posted June 7, 2014 Members Share Posted June 7, 2014 What goes on here, when someone makes a comment, and someone else quotes their comment with a derogetory GIF, is indeed bullying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted June 7, 2014 Members Share Posted June 7, 2014 Speaking of bullying, remember that time you posted this, EastMA? http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/49104-getting-to-know-you/page-2#entry1279344 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted June 7, 2014 Members Share Posted June 7, 2014 Wow, what did Soapsuds ever do to you, EastMA2? Looks like this is unprovoked and totally unjustified, why is this poster still here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katie_9918 Posted June 7, 2014 Members Share Posted June 7, 2014 You're insulting every real victim of bullying by continuing to play the victim card here. No one is driving Jonny away here. If he would just post something different every once in awhile no one would give him a hard time. Instead, he insults everyone who dares to post a negative opinion of RC and basically copies and pastes a variation of the same damn thing in EVERY post he makes. He's no one's victim here. Wow. That's more personal and below the belt than anything I've seen here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted June 7, 2014 Author Members Share Posted June 7, 2014 Johnny is basically a spammer, he contributes nothing to the conversation He basically just copies and pastes the same thing ad nauseam, which is what spammers do.......

Members sivad40 Posted June 7, 2014 Members Share Posted June 7, 2014 A GIF isn't bullying per say but can be used as a passive agressive way to attack someone. I'm member of another forum in which a lot of members would use GIFs constantly to attack each other until a moderator told them to stop because of forum etiquette and bandwith issues. I do agree it that bullying is a word that is thrown too much these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
