I happened to listen to a radio article this morning about cyber bullying amongst 11 to 13 year old girls.
Apparently, cyber bullying amongst this age group includes name calling, posting pictures purporting to be of the subject of the bullying, posting malicious lies about the subject of the cyber bullying and taunting them about body image.
It reminded me very much of a poster that posts frequently on this message board.
I have been told this poster is an academic, when it appears that it is, in fact, more likely a pre-pubescent girl.

Wish I had listened to that; shame I was busy watching that show about being married to a fatty.

I'm pretty sure calon lam isnt as proud of his posts as he makes out, nor would he show them to his fellow academics or students however, posts like this really are like the proverbial red rag to a bull.
Whilst cyber bullying is a problem, I don't really see it here as it's quite easy to log off and avoid the antagonist if it really gets to you.
Saying that grown men resorting to the stuff often seen on here is embarrassing and all parties really should take stock and see how it appears to outsiders looking in.
he loves it, as you said this post is a red rag to a bull, having said that it sometimes seems that everything he says gets jumped on by certain postersOriginally Posted by The Local Boy wrote on Mon, 20 April 2015 13:04
of course he does. Also, your last point is very relevant and this forum would be a great case study for groupthink psychologyOriginally Posted by packerman wrote on Mon, 20 April 2015 13:11

Does calling a grown male a prepubescent girl count as cyber bullying? This topic is so confusing
Can't think why?Originally Posted by packerman wrote on Mon, 20 April 2015 13:11
Indeed, it would be fascinating LB
There is some close to the bone banter on this site, but no 'bullying' as such as the members are anonymous (or can be), and anyone can just walk away. Disappear forever. Cease the situation instantly.
They can come back as 'somebody else' if they wish and avoid being recognised - if they choose.
It ought to be 'impossible' to genuinely hurt anyone on here. Nobody can put anybody else in a position where they simply cannot avoid the hurt, nor stomach any more of it etc, etc.
In fact, to suggest that "cyber-bullying" actually goes on here is to belittle bullying IMO.
