Please read this if you are being bullied online, are bullying people online or if the idea of bullying of any sort is enough to make your blood boil and evaporate into steam that blows out of your ears; [link]

My good friend Ike makes the best of points. I believe cyber-bullying, or bullying of any sort, is a very serious matter. Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of it going on at the minute, in a strong community that used to be so calm and organised. Now things are turning sour and tense. I do wish all this rabble rousing would just stop, but in saying that, I wish it would stop at the source. Yes, I hate to exclude people as I have experienced it first hand, but if certain things were not said, this would not have happened. It's a very sad thing for such a kind and loving community to go through, it's true. I only hope that soon things will return to normal.

To everyone being bullied and to those who try so nobley to defend them, I salute you. Please, just hang in there. Never let a bully get the better of you. If you keep pasting on a false smile, soon it will become real. Being optimistic about the worst of situations is what gets me through the day I'm sure you can all do it too.

Also, I got over my "forgive and forget" state of mind a long time ago, as most of you will remember. Although I like to stay positive, with all that's been going on, I'm afraid it still stands; some people never do change.
