The Troll


  I have often wondered how words could bully a person.  Unless there is a crime of terrorism, terrorist treats and treats of physical harm, how can word really hurt you.  Just like Judge Judy says sticks and stones may break my bones words cannot hurt me.  But you can't touch someone physically.

  All you need is a thick skin and a finger to push the delete key.  But it seem there are so many thin skinned  people with tender ears, they want to take freedom of speech out of our Constitution. :flag:

  But, these same thin skinned and tender eared people can dish it out but, can't take it.  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:  Just like the tender hearted guy that shot the abortion provider doctor.  :yes:

  Just like here on the "civil" Unknown Zone.  We have bullies, gangs of people who pile on and try to force people out of the Zone with their words and deeds.  But who cares, this is America, grow a tough skin, let them have their little bully pile on's and just plow a head.  You don't let them shut you up or or shut you down.   :biggrin: One tough skinned Troll.  Troll :no1:  :4th3:

Besides the fact that you missed the point of the article, it seems like you answered your own quandary.

How are people hurt by words? One sign that someone has been hurt is when he/she imagines that people want him/her to leave or stop posting. I haven't seen anyone say or hint anything like that, so apparently something must have bruised a bit.

So pot, before you call the kettle black, you might want to consider how thin skinned you are and be prepared for the sting of their response.

  Well Sandy Baby, when you make smart remarks and stupid stands and your as hard headed as they come, do expect to have it returned.  I'm not a :cry: baby and have to have help piling on someone.  I see he here every day, even when I behave myself.  You with your little back stabbing knife.   :biggrin:

  Oh I agree 100% if the enemy had any real brains.  If you want to call psy-ops.   :biggrin:

Your back? Puhleeze! That implies that I've ever been sneaky about my interactions with you. I call you like I see you and couldn't care less if it pisses you off. That's babbling bs manifested by your sorely bruised ego that can't believe you can't intimidate a mere woman. ;D

Exactly!

Then there's intent of the words. It's a bit different for me. I don't live close to anyone here. The members would be hard pressed to know anything about me that I haven't shared. So if someone said, "Sandy Eggo is a pervert", then it really doesn't mean a whole lot. Who's "Sandy Eggo?

On the other hand, there are members here who live close to each other (relatively speaking). Some of you may even know each other. So if someone were to say, "Palehorse is a pervert", then it WOULD have different meaning because that could possibly damage your reputation in your community.

BTW, I used "here", meaning the Zone, as a small scale example.Of course, this is a concern internet-wide.
