After much thought I begin to write. My first instinct would be to say that I do not want my name drawn into the gorean mud by some people who are nothing but armchair quarterbacks sitting back slinging ridiculous accusations while they do nothing to help the world of gorean role play flourish except to stir the drama pot. I will not express anger or lash out or throw a temper tantrum. I am Wren, a baker from the Village of Minus. Not some diabolical dualler out to destroy online Gor. That is just not true. I believe in the principles of honor and integrity both online and in my real life. I will not be bullied or intimidated by an armchair quarterback who cannot get out of their recliner to actually role play and help online be an enjoyable place for all to explore their creativity and experience exciting adventures in the world of Gor.

So, Wren, you decided to fight fire with fire and hypocrite your way through hypocrisy? If the answer is yes, let me propose a follow up question: how long did you actually think about such a plan? If the answer is no, then I don't see how being a hypocrite is even useful to the point you're trying to make.
the real bullying blogs began as several Goreans called out one gorean for being obviously unethical, she fooked up! All this current crap is OVER DONE, Same damn thing every new post. The only bullying going on now is really not bullying. Since when do Goreans need pages and pages of copy pasted stats on cyber bullying! We dont. I recommend a change of subject.

Working in line with Chaldea's suggestion, I propose a new topic of discussion: Subdural hematoma. To bleed, or not to bleed, that is the question. Discuss.
**chuckles** Good One!
Bullying matters as much as the target allows it to matter. Once the target understands that bullies, especially of the online type, no longer have any power or affect on that person. It comes down to how much power you are willing to give others to affect you.
Warren, we're talking about subdural hematoma now. Get with it, man,
You are so long as Wren indulges, Ludo. She may decide to clean out the dross.
I prefer not to bleed out, blood is Life. Unless I have become a vegatable, in which case I ask to be. euthanized
The door switch turns off the ice and water dispenser when the refrigerator door is open. If the door switch fails, the dispenser will not turn on. To determine if the door switch is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the door switch does not have continuity when activated, replace it............oh wait, damnit this is the subdural hematoma blog......Sorry, My bad.....
If she wishes to save face by making it go away and pretending it didn't happen, then, by all means, delete the comments. But if she is as honorable as she would claim to be, she'll just leave it as is with both the misstep, and it's acknowledgement. It's the adult thing to do.
The password is....bullying....
LOL Thiery...em um.. starts us off with the only 1 word clues, "Pit? _________
Wouldn't online bullying be directed to a real person that isn't a r/p character? A Role Play character isn't real. The person choses to come online and do a role of a non fictional character which then is like writing a story or book. Therefore it wouldn't technically be called bullying, because it's not directed at the actual person but the character they are. IF it starts to become a personal attack on the real person or using the persons real name etc, that would be bullying.
That will mean nothing to the people here for the most part. Some of them have latched onto "bullying" and they will ride until it's been cheapened eve further.
Putting up with off topic rubbish is in no way honourable. Indulging that kind of behaviour is in no way an adult thing to do. Leaving up on topic posts presented civilly that were not in agreement with her own would be aptly described as honourable and mature. Quite plainly, there is no reason she has to put up with whatever crap people feel like dishing out, especially in an environment she controls.
Shainaa, you would be correct if everyone here simply viewed their characters as role-play only, simply game pieces in which to play the online game of Gor, and attacks going beyond that of character never, ever occured. Neither of those things is true. That doesn't mean anything should be done about it in general, as nothing can be. Anyone coming into online Gor should be aware about it, though, so they can thicken their skin appropriately.
Actually my real persona was being attacked saying that I am dualling. I am done with the accusations and am moving forward. Simply put if you do not wish to interact with me or my character fine and dandy that is your perogative. I will not run and cry and hide in the corner playing the meek little victim to vicious lies.
That is the wise move, Wren. and, blogging less IS really blogging more, less is more. Sincerely step Over the mud, and continue on in RP. I havn't met You yet there! That is where we need to be. And, of course be careful who You trust. Some days back, the cauldran person blogged, outing about 4 names, some friends of mine. Claiming they were duellers with no proof of course. The blog was taken down soon after I saw it. It was disgusting! Just sayin, careful who You trust, find fun in RP.
Blogging less may be more if your blogs lack substance. Anyway, is there any system in place that provides proof for dualing accusations? There isn't that I know of, so such accusations tend to be based on belief rather than fact. Belief may be sufficient for a mob lynching but seems a bit lacking otherwise. And yes, be careful who you trust, ideally no one to begin with.
