Have you read some of the responses on TOTV? Some folks have not outgrown bullying!

Bullying has been used to describe a number of people on this forum who agree on an issue " ganging up" on someone in a debate. Usually that means that the folks who disagreed made a valid point.
I see bullying as and attempt to hurt, degrade, ridicule and mock someone just because you want power and because you want to be hateful and mean.
Sometimes people harp and harp and harp on negative issues that are to me not valid. I would hate for just one older person to miss out on the joy I am having because someone portrayed this place incorrectly.
I never dreamed that I would enjoy life at the age of 75 as much or more as when I was 12.
Sometimes I get so annoyed with someone on here I don't like myself. I hope to heaven that I have not bullied someone, but I know I might have.
Thank heavens we are all outspoken enough to stop things when they are getting out of hand.
