PvP Why do people grief? Why are they able to?

[ALGOMATIC]

If you purposely acts a certain way to irritate one of the consequences is that those people will probably become irritated, and certainly like you less. If this annoys you & you act on that IRL you may end up with reduced liberties or funds.

If you feel you are being bullied the 'right thing to do' is tell the teacher. The mature thing to do is just take it in your stride, satisfied that you were trying to get a rise out of them & succeeded.

If you were not acting to deliberately antagonise an apology & a sincere attempt to curb that behaviour in future is probably the best course of action.

As with other things, others can only guess your true intent based on previous patterns of behaviour.

Fair enough. Lets finish.

This was only a response to him doing exactly this, resorting to RL threats.

Didn't even remotely do that. I said that if you behaved like you do on here IRL I'd be amazed if you made it home each day without getting a slap. I didn't offer to administer one. I'm a lover not a fighter.

I'm really not bothered by what you said at all though, Christ knows I've said far worse to people online than that.

That is biased wrong and you know it.
He said he is prepared to call me a while laughing at my face in RL, well guess what happens when you do that to someone.

Neither biased, nor wrong. You threatened violence, he did not. Simple as.

Calling someone a in a mocking way is asking for trouble. Go to a pub or even to somone on the street and do that, lets see the outcome.

I believe it's safe as long as they're much smaller than you and have no chance of fighting back

That I agree with.

You just can’t let it go, can you? It’s like you are trying to prove to everyone that you aren’t just an internet bully, but a real life one also.

I’ve been called a and worse many times in my life. Never once did I feel the need to put their head to pavement for it. Violence over hurt pride is the chosen path of weak minded men.

Now that's a flower.

Maybe. Maybe not. But it isn't violence.

I think Hardin was a second foundationer, we should be wary of his sayings.

As things are going pear shaped again, I'm going to close this for review.

Another mod who hasn't been active can look at it.

I looked at it. It was bad. You should all feel bad.
