Default Is there bullying on this forum?

Yes. BUT MOSTLY by anonymous people and by that I mean those who have never or will never meet other members of TOTV face to face at anytime, even if they do NOT reveal their real name.


There are many who post who have strong opinions and are reasonable in the presentations of them but many have not so hidden agendas against the majority's traditional views and politics. They will use any platform to be contrarian and will make fun of people who are generally happy here and who are annoyed by their general negativism. I believe that the politics of the developer is a a burr under the saddle with many of these folks.


If a person is a reasonable debater and is able to win a debate through logical presentation of facts and opinions, that is NOT bullying. That is winning an argument.


EVERYONE gets angry and frustrated sometimes. People are people. But ANONYMOUS people have absolutely no reputation to uphold or ruin.


Even those who are nice... are not above a jab now and then.


SO...OP. Why do you ask and how do you see yourself? Mais, je pense Monsieur Beaubein isn't anonymous. N'est pas? But you are NOT a villager?
