then return to normal gaming letting the <bully> get filled all up with spite and bile that you're not responding.  It's his blood pressure, not yours, leave him to it.

Beat me to it sir <S>

Deep down at their core, bullies are cowards.  They get used to pushing against those that won't or can't push back.   Since they are cowards, bullies back down or move along when some one stands up to them.   Let HTC or the Skuzzmiester handle the push back.  Have fun with the game.

 <bully> tells <bullied> to man up and respond in PM and not to take it to 200.

 I find that funny, the bully has it backwards, he is too cowardly to expose himself to ridicule if his blather is observed by the community.

This game is national/international in the spotlght.. lots of people see this and are a part of this.. however, if you think you're going to threaten me or my family with remarks or what have you.. bro hear me now..  it will be a different lead that i will be taking on this. Period

Craz,

I think what the fugitive is saying there is we are not trying to fight fire with fire. We are trying to defuse these issues so that all players can have the maximum amount of enjoyment of the game.

A threat plus firing back doesn't begin to solve the underlying issue of "bullying". It's just fuel on the fire. It spoils the fun for everyone that is around the incident.

Right?

No one bully's me because i am the best fish fighter in Europe

(Fist)  (Fish) is better though

[craz07]

No sir, i dont know about you, but I just don't like to be irritated by them.. not all but there are certain people that can be a bug... there really aint much difference.. don't think about it too much, it means nothing in the end     

[Ratsy]

Zack - Are you sure that's not a fish dance?  Some say that you were/are the finest fish dancer in Britain and that Monty Python keeps you in the fridge next to the flounder.   Hop Hop Hop - SLAP!

OP - We should follow the process when warranted.  I don't have much to say in the game, except on squadron channel and range check sixes.  I have been confronted by a few pilots in my years here, but found that 'freezing' them was a very effective counter.  I mostly don't give a snot about what people think of my flying.  To the underlying aspect of the OP...we won't build numbers if ANY of us tolerate a bully.  If we run a bully off in the process, I'm fine with that.

Squelching and Reporting someone doesn't stop the bullying

Yeah ghost still bullies me daily even after I reported him     

[Vraciu]

rgr that.  Exactly my reason for saying - 'keep it on 200'  Abusive messages on PM are bullies at work.  Of course PM's have their place, just not to ridicule, abuse  etc

Bullying is fine if on 200 then I guess....

[Vraciu]

rgr I understand the option to report.  The thing is I was a bystander watching this and got on 200 to advise the <bully> that his actions were not good.  Of course I copped a bit but I fought my corner within the rules.

I guess my motivation here is to discourage these types of interactions and encourage a culture of help and assistance

Of course we exist within an environment of combat, winners and losers - but that does not mean we have to ridicule and bully.  right?

Charity begins at home.


Oh the irony in a number of ways.  (Not that the point is invalid, btw.)

[Skyyr]

I prefer the fight fire with fire approach. Never fire first... always fire last and with 10x more force. Most people are so blind-sided by it that they often think they're the victim and then hypocritically cry for help.

Makes the game so much better than ignoring it and "talking with your guns".  :/
