...*facepalm* Trying to say that just because we are communicating over a different medium it's not reality is just... seriously?
You obviously don't understand what I'm saying at all. Let me spell it out, virtual world vs real life. On the internet, you can be whatever the hell you want. You can say that you are 6"5 and 300lbs of pure muscle and people would believe you. You can post a picture of someone else you found on Google and say that it's you and people would believe you. People do that on dating sites all the time. On the internet, you can be anything. Now bullying/trolling/harassing/etc, you should not take seriously. Why? Because someone trying to fuck with you with no backup proof is laughable.
Example A
Read both of those dmails that were sent. Can you honestly take that person seriously? This person's intention is to hurt the admin's feelings. Did it work? No, because that person just proved that he is immature, inferior, and not even worth spending any of your precious time to deal with. What did they do to fix this "problem"? BLOCKED. "What if he makes an alt"? BLOCKED. "What if he makes multiple alts"? BLOCKITY BLOCK BLOCKED.
Now let's go into the real world. Unlike the internet, you can't be whatever you want due to laws, rules, or limitations in general. You cannot claim that you're 6"5 and 300lbs of pure muscle when you're actually 5"7 and 150lbs. You cannot have a picture of someone else and say that it's you because you're not the same person. Now bullying in real life is a problem. Threats, abuse, etc happening to you in real life has a more pshycological affect than harsh words on a screen.
In the capacity of you just not letting bullying get to you, no, you aren't the problem. In the capacity of being dismissive of bullying being a problem at all, yes, you are the problem.
Never said or implied that I am dismissive about bullying, so no, I am not the problem. Bullying/bullies are the problem in whole. "Cyber-bullies" are just immature trolls that can't do nothing but talk shit. It's annoying but not permanent.
