a culture of bullying on the forum

I,ve noticed a ditressing tendency on this forum, one of people ,generally indulging in abusive and insulting communications.Of course, this leads to the defense mechanism kicking in,and on it goes. This is not a very satisfactory state of affairs ,and it certainly doesn,t lead to a dynamic nor creative outcome.We can all agree that a bit of jocular ribbing can occur within the context of people knowing each other well, but in such a place as this it can be unpleasant,and worse. Could I direct you to a song which encapsulates the feeling I try to convey."Wanda,s song" by The Reddings. regards to all, and a peaceful Sunday.

The only way of dealing with bullies is to beat the crap out of them as soon as they start to be annoying.That's the only "language" they can understand.

stop whinging and give me your lunch money...

No seriously, I do not see much to worry about here on this forum (if it goes too far the thread gets removed by the moderators who do a pretty good job) ... To me many people deserve a quick virtual slap of reality, as they rarely bother to use the search button and launch in with questions that have been asked hundreds of times and bore everyone esle stupid (I am 15 and want to move to Finland because I like rock music, I need a job, how do I apply for university etc etc), then you get those trying to impress with idiotic comments about Finnish women are this or that, Kela are criminals, foreigners are criminals, Finns are criminals, dog owners are criminals, blah blah blah

On the other hand there are some regulars who go at it back and forward, but this is not bullying... more like two drunk pricks having a senseless arguement outside a pub (and they are criminals).
