The latest subject of her vileness was directed toward someone who no longer wants contact with her, she was put on his ignore list as well as unfriended on Facebook. There are many interwoven threads that may appear unconnected if not followed but complete a picture if personally involved. Attacking a posters political beliefs spills into attacking that person personally given what the attacker knows about their personal life. Some people are more trusting of others and the predators seek those people out first by friending them, finding out all they can about them and finally when the moment is right hold that person hostage to unwarranted attacks and emotional abuse. Some take the direct approach and hit with all their might, others take a more passive aggressive and subtle approach and sadistically play cat and mouse so as to entertain their narcissistic needs. You’re intelligent Rubicon, you must see what’s going on. None of us are innocent and we all play with one another in a give and take but we all live to fight another day.
I despise bully’s. As a child I was bullied unmercifully both at school and in my neighborhood. I was overweight with certain family issues that made me a mark for vicious unrelenting attacks. Again, I’m not innocent. At times I take pleasure in doing what bully’s have done to me. I’m human as all of us are and sensitive perhaps too much to the point where I react too quickly and just as vicious as my tormentors were to me.
I take no moral high ground, simply a level playing field and ask the predators to suppress their impulses and leave those whose sensitivities rule their lives be left alone, if that’s what they choose.

I am very aware of this poster's passive-aggressive tendencies. And of the many people who left Talk of the Villages because of them in whole or in part. They seem happier on Facebook though.
The bullying on here just gets worse and worse even with it appearing like there were removals of a few of the worst offenders. That might just be wishful thinking on my part, however.
What I do not understand is that the IGNORE LIST is there and should be used if someone has problems with what others are posting. You need not look at it at all. But instead the harassment and bullying continues unabated.
My Mom had a flu when was born so I had speech and co-ordination problems early in life and suffered through a great deal of bullying. I did not expect, however, to encounter the same kind of mental cruelty from people who look like they are all over 60 or so with some exceptions.
