Nothing positive to share when I see bullying occurring , no.
Sometimes that can be a matter of perspective though, JP. And ganging up on Hitler isn't always a sign of bullying, by way of example.
I didn't read anything by Mark that I can think of, didn't look twice at the thread you're talking about. And I've had more than a few threads started by people angry with me over this or that, so I know how it can go, but I'd caution you to do a search on what the person you see as being victimized was saying. See what he's about before you judge the people responding to him.
It's as simple as finding one of his posts and clicking on the username. A drop down menu will have as an option all of the last 100 posts he's made. Then you can click on them and back out and look down the list. A good friend here once suggested I do that before I committed myself to a disagreement or a friendship here.
It's sound advice. Helps you get a sense of who is trolling and who isn't.
Nor when I know people like Patrick Jane are using fake names and then blaming other people for the exact same thing.
It is an interesting course of action a few have taken. I don't have the inclination or energy for it and I don't see the value in it, but that's life for you. Jane went after me hook and claw a while back for no discernible reason, but he calms down over time, I think. :think: Maybe. :chuckle: You have to take a lot of people as you meet them, until both of you have had enough time to figure out where you really want to stand in relation.
