Thread Name: BS: Responses to bullying
Subject: RE: BS: Responses to bullying
"Is it correct that everyone - regardless of their race-sex-religion-sexual preference etc has the right to be respected and the responsibilty to respect others?

Even if you may judge that someone may not have respected others - even or especially when others are seen and encouraged to share that judgement- does this really give anyone the right to disrespected and bully them or attempt to deny that what you are seen to be doing and supporting is bullying?"


The joke is - that the above - which you claim not to be able to understand - was taken mostly word for word from an Anti - Bullying campaign booklet.

As for me missing the point of your post - you seem to have missed the whole point of this thread. Which remains 'responses to bullying' rather than the judging the writing style of fellow posters.

If I do not see the need to publicly post personal judgements about you, your family and speculate on the contents of your toilet bowl or what you do with your genitals and encourage other to follow this questionable example and to indulge in online conversations that do not address to you but are about you and make crude jokes at your expense - is it really too much to expect you to respond in kind? Or if you can't do this - to simply ingnore anything that I may post?

This is what is called showing respect regardless of anyone's race-sex-religion-sexual preference or even if they just happen to to be me.
