Question

Has anyone ever been bullied or called dumb, stupid, or has anyone every said "I've wasted my precious time on you" on this website?

Answer 1

I have :) but guess what? I ignored it and moved on

Answer 2

I am sorry you had to hear that though thats sad :( You can always talk to a mod or an ambi about this

Answer 3

@pooja195 I second that! I guess people on here don't understand that people like myself are on here to learn/get a better understand of my homework and when someone says things like that, it's not very nice. To be honest, if you don't have any thing nice to say don't say anything at all.

Answer 4

Sorry that was a little rant haha @pooja195

Answer 5

If anyone has done this to you on here, then report it and a moderator will take just action.

Answer 25

Trolls will be trolls for as long as they are allowed. This is why report is important. We need to blunt their fangs and cut out their venom.

Blocking helps some, for direct message trolls, but there are still other attacks.

This leads to ignoring them. Trolls want attention. When you give them attention, even in the form of insults, they win. Do not let the trolls win! Starve them out. When they anger you, take pleasure in NOT feeding the trolls. Just pass over it and know that by doing so you get back at them.

I would add, also do something fun. Laughter helps produce NK cells and has other positive effects on health and stress reduction. Ask Dr. Lee Burke if you do not believe me. It is a good troll defence to get some laughter in so their actions matter less to you.
