Absolutely Coley. Difference in opinions always gets mixed up as "bullying" on here...

We definitely do not need anyone bullying others, although I personally feel that word gets thrown around a bit too often here. When someone does not agree with another person's point of view, it is not bullying. People need to understand that if you are posting your opinion on an open forum, you will not always get the reactions you want to see. Obviously when disagreeing you should be respectful, but I have seen even the most respectful replies being lumped in and called bullying. I hope that when posts are reported (and I feel bad for those who have to read through them ) the mods look at the WHOLE thread. Many times the very ones who are crying victim are the biggest instigators and baiters.

Honestly though, there is no one on this forum who is worth losing your account over. The game is way more fun than the forums anyway.


EDIT to add: I do think the ignore button would solve many problems.
