Would you be upset if...

Say your significant other joins a website with you, but they end up getting bullied off that website. Do you stay on the website after they are gone or do you leave with them?

isn't the question...why would you want to hang out with a bunch of bullies?

@OP Holy shiznick, its another sagitarian rabbit. Similar like list too. HIYO!

As for that? Guilt is a bad motivator for decisions. However, you can still go thru with it if other reasons stand by themselves.

As for the morality, its up for debate. It depends how strict your morality is IMO. Strict is not always best, unless it is.
Then there's what you *have* to do, if it happens to be the only workable solution.

I would leave. I couldn't stick around with the same people who hurt my SO. I would do so out of support. Disagreements are one thing. Bullying however, is unacceptable.

That's too broad of a question.

Did your boyfriend or girlfriend do anything to warrant the bullying?

If the bullying was deserved than no I wouldn't leave the website. Especially if you were on the website first with no problems first. If the bullying wasn't deserved than I might leave.. Still a few variables in that decision.

I'd leave, for the reasons stated by others

I was thinking about going in this direction, but presenting a united front (sticking with your partner) can trump everything. *shrug*
That's what i meant when i said 'do what you must'.
Yes, alot of variables. Wait. Don't agree with me?! How am i supposed to argue with you now? Gaaahhhhhhhh.

Bullying is never deserved... that's what makes it bullying.

As for me, I really don't know. I'm not sure I'd be able to stay simply because I would have lost respect for the forum.

What if you walked up to a group of black people and said a racial slur? Would bullying be warranted then?

You'd deserve to get your a$$ kicked.....just sayin'.....

Bullying? No, but I'd totally buy the first ticket to your ass whoopin'.

I'd rather be "bullied" than get my ass kicked. What would you rather partake in?

Edit: so if the OP left out the fact that their boyfriend or girlfriend went into an online forum and used a racial slur for no reason other than an insult, would you leave the forum?

See above message.

I'm going to have to agree with lost561 that this question is simply too broad and lacks specifics.
And everyone else, I usually disagree with lost as much as you guys but you shouldn't argue with him for the sake of arguing with him.
You're disagreeing with him on something you actually agree with, it's kinda childish. Stick to helping the OP.

clacrymosa, could you tell us what happened in the order it happened?

Since I deal with Internet bullies constantly, I've found that the best way to deal with them is to call them on their abuse--in other words, always take the high road. A bully is one who behaves like a petulant child, so they should be treated like petulant children. The bully usually either straightens up or leaves in embarrassment.

I don't get this internet bullying thing. Surely bullying is bullying when it impacts directly upon one's real life...

Surely learning how to deal with certain online situations is a way ahead, rather than retreating at the first sign of difficulty. Mind you, as has been said, the OP's situation is unclear.
