Can you honestly say that you have never posted anything on here just to try and wind folk up and get the 'school yard bully' reaction? Genuine question this too.
You are correct about the schoolyard bullying of this lad. I.dont agree with him on this subject. But in many cases he's been bullied for making valid point s
If you define bullying as tearing my hair out with utter despair that a supposed 'fan' of Barnsley FC could apparently make it his life's mission to belittle the club, its manager, owner, legendary players past & present, the media team and just about anyone else held in high regard by the vast majority of supporters, then yes, I'm in.
He doesn't make valid points though. He just attention seeks because of whatever "issues" he has. Regardless of the reaction - support or hostility - he gets a kick out of it. Then he does it all over again. Of course he's not the only one there.
Disagreeing with him is not bullying. This is a forum for all of us to air our views and debate issues, whether football related or not. If someone is uncomfortable with having their opinions challenged, they should simply stay away from here. As Micky Finn says, the lad belittles just about everything that is good about the club, and has done for many years. Nobody should reasonably expect to come on here with those type of views and not get challenged.
Ive noticed you have had your fair share of this nonsense in the past. If they play the man - and not the ball then it is showing a lack of intelligence. Which comes as a real surprise because I've met some of the people in this thread and I thought that they were above things like that. They need to step back and think about what they are actually doing here. If someone posts abuse at someone without giving any response to the issues raised in that persons post - then it shows a lack of intelligence. AND ITS BULLYING. And Site Admin are choosing to ignore it.
Repeatedly posting the same **** in order to provoke emotion and antagonise other users of the BBS is trolling.
I totally agree. But to be fair - to my knowledge I don't see this from anyone on here. But I do see keyboard bullying.
I disagree. If somebody posts to get a reaction and then gets the reaction then are they being bullied? To put that into a 'real life's scenario if a school kid stands in front of a group of lads and tells them their girlfriends, sisters and mothers are all sluts and basically slags them off. Are they bullies if they retaliate?
Time for a break from this place I reckon. Can't have a proper discussion anymore. Between the constant trolling by more than one poster (although we all know the main culprit), and the over sensitive nature of others who get offended at the slightest hint of a disagreement to their opinion, it's simply not with bothering with anymore. Enjoy the football lads and lasses. You reds!!!
