My conscience is clear.


I asked a question

I proposed a solution.


I want to see an end of the harassment and bullying that is once again becoming rife on this Board.

The way to do that is to ...........


a) ignore the person who is causing "you" trouble

b) not to retaliate or respond to any comments or digs by that other person

c) get everyone to look at themselves and ask themselves honestly, "am I harassing or bullying?"


I was accused last year of bullying ................... I took that clear look at myself, and decided, no I was not bullying, but I was responding forcefully to someone who was going after me.

I solved my problem by learning to ignore that person. Boy, did they get upset and frustrated when they could no longer get a rise out of me ........ or get their jollies by reporting me time and time again. :-D


There are people on this Board who I have seen bullying and harassing others ........... not just one other person, but time and time again.

They seem unable to recognise what they are doing.


Every time there is a "gang up" against someone, that is bullying and harassment.

It seems to occur time and time again .............. and is very off-putting to newbies

I know that, because I was put off this Board for many years because of the treatment of others that I kept seeing. It was only as I got the strength to stand up for myself ................... and to learn who to ignore ............. that I began to post on here.


There are many threads I do not read

There are people who I know will upset me if I read their threads, or who post threads that I know I do not want to read.

So, I ignore them ........ and selectively pick and choose threads that are possibly interesting to me.
