It amazes me how people can't let things go. Honestly, this person has screenshots from well over a year ago, claiming that they show her being "cyberbullied."
------ [side rant]
Just as a side note - I really do hate that word, unless it is being used with children.
Children are bullied.
Adults are either:
- Discussing
- Debating
- Arguing
- Harassing
It is what used to be called "being an ass."
But, I digress.

This person has truly harassed numerous people in the Star Wars RP 'verse. She has posted the IP addresses of several RPers, among other things. Do you want to know what the main offense was for this, plus her barrage of insults and cries of betrayal?
Several RPers (myself included) had been sitting around discussing different RP's, and the comment was made that this particular RPer had a recurring theme - getting pregnant and having babies, then trying to kill them in various ways. It seems like every time we turned around, she was pregnant again. And the babies grew up within a matter of weeks. And she was jumping off of buildings and trying to drown them and stuff. It was truly odd.
We made no attempt to hide the conversation, and we discussed many other aspects of different RP's. (It was a slow night.) If I remember correctly, some aspects of my own RP were discussed. (My characters tend to have numerous bed partners and also have those bed partners die off rather often. *shrugs*)
She went absolutely ballistic and began what has become more than a year-long tirade against the entire Star Wars 'verse.
In another incident, she has badgered one RPer to the point where the player was going to shut the account down (but, thankfully, didn't. This person that she attacked was someone who had never even tweeted on her account before the attacks began.)
Many of the people in the RP community retaliated, defending the people who had been harassed and attacked by this person. Was it the right thing to do? Perhaps, perhaps not. I just find it very difficult to stand by and not say something when I see these kinds of things going on. I try not to have a whole lot of ooc commentary and/or drama in the feed, but I certainly am not opposed to blog posts or other ways of voicing opinions.
I say all of that to give a little bit of history.
Now she is back, once again claiming that she is the one that is being "cyberbullied." She even claims that one RPer who only RTed 2 tweets is cyberbullying her.
I feel sorry for her. She clearly is disturbed on some deep level.
I just wanted to say 3 things.
- If you post information that is easily disproved - and people disprove it - don't get all bent out of shape over it. That is not being cyberbullied. That is called "being shown to be full of sh*t." Suck it up and deal with it.
- If Person A comes along and says they've had problems with person after person after person - at some point you have to look at the one who is the common denominator with all of these situations and realize that the problem is not everyone else in the entire RP 'verse. It's Person A.
- If you look at different RP groups and you see which ones are growing and which ones are not, that is a good indication of the types of people that are in them. If you see one particular group that is never growing, or it seems to lose members faster than it finds them, or if the group will gain members and then have a falling out soon thereafter - something is wrong. See Point #2.
I am sure this is not the last post that I'm going to have on this subject, but it's all I have for now.
