No no. And I'm quite happy to answer your questions as best I can...
Thanks!
Of course anyone is free to say negative things about Heather. That doesn't automatically make them bullies, no. In my view, there are certain lines, and when crossed, those what expose the characteristics of a bully.
I'd not mind to hear what you think those lines are, if you'd not mind to post. If you prefer not, that's ok.
There are bullies in many places, and more readily equipped in this modern era with the internet than ever before.
It is easy to be awful behind a keyboard.
Yes, there are most certainly bullies on BellGab too. But not every BellGabber is a bully.
That must be so. I can't imagine it would be filled with nothing but bullies.
There is nuance to most things however. Now I seem to be walking back my absoultism, and exposing bias.
In the other post you said this:
It does tear me up when I see someone being bullied and no one stands up for the victim. I just can't shake this protective instinct.Here are some questions without seeing the definition you might offer to what you see bullying to be:
Did you mean that HW is being bullied here in Ellgab?
If she doesn't come all the way to Ellgab to read this thread, has no knowledge of the posts here is it still bullying?
Is it all bullying the moment she logs in and comes to this thread and sees it, so not bullying until she sees it?
Thanks!
