Are you seriously trying to defend those who are guilty of bullying?  Life wouldn't be as hard for some if people were not ****.  This planet isn't perfect because people have **** attitudes, and refuse to do anything to make it better.  They have the "well, it's already ****, mind as well not try."

Re: "Being Offended"

@Crastopher: Skimmed your post. The guy who made that video obviously has/had depression which is a mental illness and I am not advocating for the bullying of people with mental illnesses. I've been through it all, bullying, anxiety. In middle school especially I was in a really dark place. I hated some people so much I wished they would die. When I was older I came to realize I was being selfish. My like sucked in school, but outside of school it was ok. The bullies were the ones who were really struggling. My mom always used to comfort me, but remind me that not everyone has structure in their homes or in their lives.

Still. Though I was never diagnosed with depression I learned to deal with the fear. I fought back. I didn't care what anyone thought, I knew I had self worth and in High School they stopped bothering me. I stopped letting petty words and remarks, online and real life, make me anxious. I grew up. I was forced to, but I did. And I'm glad I did.

But again, like Jawapa, you're taking me too generally. I'm not saying we should go out and bully children. Let me give an example,

A six year old makes this drawing: http://handwritinggym.com/sites/default … person.jpg

We don't tell this it sucks, we don't tell them they are a bad artist, because that's not what it's for.

Let's say this same picture was drawn by an 18 year old man, and this is the extent of his drawing skill. Using this as an example he thinks he is qualified for art school.  If someone tells him he sucks at because of this picture that's not bullying. It's telling someone the honest truth. It hurts to be told you're not good at something, especially when it's the thing you love to do. But it's not a bad thing, in fact it might make you reevaluate your life and try something new. All I'm saying is, we can't all be nice to each other all the time. It just doesn't work.

Try being nice to Westoboro Baptist Church, they will just tell you God hates you. Try being nice to ISIS, they will probably just kill you. Try going to North Korea and being nice, you'll probably just disappear forever. If should would be nice if niceness solved all the world problems, but unfortunately it does not. Sometimes we must be stern, sometimes we must fight back.

Okay, but your your advocating "constructive bullying," AKA being a Richard Nixon.
And only people with mental illnesses?  Maybe this isn't what you meant, but words hurt all people.  Doesn't matter what illnesses they have.

This is what I was talking about in a prior post.  "The world is already bad, so let's go ahead and make it worse."

So the truth now means being a Richard Nixon?  Again, there is criticism, and being an undeniably pleasant person to be around.

Re: "Being Offended"

Words only hurt people who allow them to. That being said it's different for people with anxiety depression. You call someone a name normally and they tell you to eff off, you call a person with depression a name and they might take you seriously.

They hypocrisy is that you are saying "Life wouldn't be as hard for some if people were not undeniably pleasant person to be around." You are not exactly the most pleasant person to be around yourself. It's hard to find credibility in your defense when you say things like:

" If you can't follow the rules, you don't deserve to play the game.  "Make the punishment fit the crime." No. FOLLOW THE RULES OR GET OUT."

why are you trying to avoid the fact that you support the action of bullying? like ok cool! youre all for NOT being absolutely horrible to people with mental illnesses! but apparently being horrible to everyone else is absolutely acceptable! Let's take a trip back to Kindergarten, where we learn how to be a Decent Human Being!

also i never said that you said you should go out and bully children! being a bad person isn't justifiable! jesus why is this so hard?

Lol, I don't even need to point out why this is flawed.

That quote came from a topic where someone being a bully tried to make a defense, and claim their actions were okay.  People were asking for punishments to be lighter?  Why?  It's a punishment for a reason, it's not meant to be all sunshine and rainbows.  If you were to follow the rules, and not break them 8 times in a row like the person who created that topic did, you wouldn't have to worry about being banned.  8 bans, and countless warnings.   All of that aside, how is that even relevant?  You have to try and find other things to argue because you realize you're losing this one?

If you are going to look up posts from the past, find ones that are at least semi-relevant.

I was just trying to help you out. If you actually want to debate with people and not just shout hysterically at them then you can't talk like a triggered tumblrina. Once somebody sees 5000 unnecessary extra punctuation marks they're just going to skip right over the whole thing. But if you don't care about actually having a conversation or possibly changing people's opinions or at least opening their minds to other viewpoints then rant away.

Re: "Being Offended"

@Jawapa: The fact that you had to drudge all those up just posts shows how desperate you are to prove a point.

As for your first point, It shouldn't matter why 1nsanity was banned, a good moderator does not threaten people to leave the game just because they can't follow rules. Although this brings up larger problems with the EE staff in regards to bans in general, and this is not the proper forum to do so.

As for you second point, I refuse to defend myself for every single post, but I will say this. I argued EE isn't a kids game, in fact because I think the population is so diverse it causes a lot of problems. I am also, by personality, a person who is very raucous. I can certainly understand why some people don't like that. But I do not go out of my way to bully children. Only one of those posts targets any players in particular, iPwner and Tomakakaz, but I have had issues with them for a long time. Another thing I refuse to defend. We have never gotten along and likely never will, but it's personal. (Not random.)

You are free to not agree/dislike my opinion, but you're not so much better yourself. I believe some bullying can be constructive, and that is that. Feel free to tell me GET OUT! But I' m not changing. There is nothing else to say.

Re: "Being Offended"

Me?A bully?No.I made this because i get bullied in school,get called names etc.
And i don't give a bimps . I ignore and there are still people insulting me,but i ignore it and avoid those people as much as i can not go and kill myself because some people were mean to me.
And people that are even worse than bullies are the people who are in depression,want to commit suicide AND TRACK IT ONLINE.They want the world to know that they are stupid enough to kill themselves,and they they comment on those videos: "ppl are who dislik dis are coldherted pepl!"No we're not coldhearted.We just think this crap should not be on youtube.


nvm jawapa didnt imply that to me

One day, I watched a video about a person who was bullied. She actually committed suicide.

By the way, it's hard to me to ignore someone who offends me, I overreact instead.

Alright, we define "bullying" as the repeated abuse. Yes, repeated abuse isn't right. Realistically, the victim should be responsible enough to take efforts to avoid the issue. Sure, that may fail. once-off attacks are more what I'm permitting; you aren't going to live in a world without strife.

Ultimately:
Yes, the act of repeatedly verbally/physically abusing someone is wrong. But some amount of disagreeable folk in your diet is required, because you won't ever eradicate bullying.

good one; the ol' attitude clincher.

Well, let's think psychologically. How did it come to be? People have crap in their life, they feel compelled to make others' lives crappy?
If that's true, you could magically reset all bullying to zero and have it return because psychology.
You could make it a moral no-no, but you'll still have people holding on to it. Geez, we break morals everywhere.
