You're right, this isn't bullying. I think in my time on here I've only seen one situation that maybe bordered on that description. So maybe bullying was a bad choice of word.
Perhaps, but I think it fairly accurately describes the feelings of the people so effected.

I'm still hoping that the situation can be defused before it gets to the stage of people being banned or the installing of moderators.
So am I. The first sounds to much like the stifiling of opposing views, while the second creates a management structure that does not necessarily work.
I still think that certain people need to be taken aside by those they seem to respect and be given a little talking to about acceptable behaviour. Since they do not respect the members of this forum (old and new), then it needs to be done by someone else.... The only people that could do that are Ken and Gerri, but for some reason that won't do it. If fact one user when I asked him to tone it down in a PM told me that because Ken has not asked him to be more polite, he has no need to. I have wondered more than once if Ken likes the fighting on the forums.   pdf | | | Paul Francis
