Internet bullying

[his holiness nb]

If you read the "f*cking insane" thread I beleive that snowed under is orchestrating a vicious campaign of internet bullying towards me.
Every post is replied to with and insult or slur on my personal life.
I'd be interested to hear who agrees or disagrees.
Yes I could ignore it, but thats not the point.
Am I overeacting?
Maybe a proper definition of internet bullying would be helpful.
I have no doubt the mods will just tell us both to stop bickering, but this is more than bickering from his side.
I just thought I should post this in case I get banned for this thread.
Note I am not saying anything insulting about the guy, but this persistant abuse is getting out of hand.

Its easy for him to do this online and I have no doubt he would dare say the things he does to my face, but its getting really tiresome as I am sure it is for most people who read threads he gets insulting on.

Previously the same guy pestered me so much that I took a break from the site for a few months.
I enjoy this site, and dont want to be put in the position of either staying away or being abused every time I log on.


Anyway rant over, and no doubt this will be replied to with further insults from the same guy.

This isn't going to help.

Trust me Zaptista, wouldnt make a difference.

Go into your Profile
Under 'Modify account' click on 'Personal message options'
Add him to your 'Ignorelist'

What would this do?
Would it only refer to personal messages?

Yes you're right. Apologies, not really awake here yet. Doh !

I should also point out that I am NOT asking for him to be banned.

Ask Admin or mod or who ever to issue a warning. Like a yellow card.

Out of curiousity I read the thread. I'll never forgive you for that  
Rule of thumb is, as soon as you get posters correcting spelling mistakes and thinking it's a smart thing, run like mad away from the thread.

Follow procedures, either ignore it or report it.

Agree I should ignore, but I'm a fecker for getting annoyed when someone posts presumptions about my personal life for all on the board to read.

Is it the  bullying that annoys you or the presumtions about your private life that annoy you.

Bullying is supposed to be cruel to provoke a reaction.
It says a lot about the pathetic life of the bully.
The reaction they hate is being ignored. Bugs them no end.

Does no one else see the ironing in Snowed Under continually ranting on about 'internet warriors' when it is blatently obvious that he is one himself? Who was he before he got banned?

On reading back over snowed under posts its seems his out to wind up other posters.  Most of his posts are a dig at someone, sure there is a tread about him and pints.  When i joined the board i presumed that it would be a good debating site about gaa and other issues with poster with a bit of common sense, not a slagging match with cheap shots at other posters.

When treads go off line and it starts to get personnel,  yes its bullying.

Unless you have something positive to say snowed under, say nothing.

Agreed.
The mistake you made imho holiness is you started trying to prove him wrong when he came out with some personal insult. Your attempts to do this (happily married, play ball, socialise, etc) then provided more ammunition to him thus frustrating you even more.
Let him say what he likes - sure no one else is going to play a blind bit of notice. He was looking for someone to wind up - you replied provding the bait and then it took off.
