I won't, we need him, and I doubt Alex will. He leaves that to the mods discretion. We need some humour and some fun counterbalances here! He loves our membership base. So do I.

Thanks for the reassurance. But there are two other mods at the present time...

I think I had my avatar uploaded and removed 5 times on AF before I got called out on it - I genuinely thought the site was glitching.

maybe WP is glitching ? I'll try again

seems pretty odd that it's just your avatar that's being affected...

Banning is always a last resort option and especially right now when things are heated and folks are reacting emotionally and I think thinks will calm down.

I have been personally attacked (and had ableist comments made at me) in this thread or the other one and have not even addressed it.

^^^No worries, Ferris.  I guess it's good for me that any "covert bullying" directed at me flies so low under my radar that I simply don't notice it.  Heck, I don't usually know that I'm being gaslighted until someone else points it out!



I had no idea covert bullying is a thing and my question would be how would we know that is going on?

I had to use the Bing search to get the results because Google doesn't seem to know covert bullying exists.

I could go back in my childhood and say everyone covert bullied me :lol:

I can even say here those who are extremely sensitive and think anyone is attacking them is the covert bully because that is exactly what this article is saying here:

Quote:
“Professional Victims” who control you with their hyper-sensitive, hurt feelings so you walk on egg shells.


I have only ran into a small number of members here who were like this and I never ever assumed they were a bully. I only assumed they were too mentally damaged so they were easily triggered so I just simply would not interact with them.

Also if you hold them accountable, they then get suicidal and start to self harm for their hurtful actions they did. :roll:
Talk about emotional black mail and that is why I do not give a f**k how vulnerable someone is. I hold everyone accountable.

If your partner kills themselves after you broke up with them, it is not your fault. That is how I feel when we hold members here accountable.

The mods and admins really need to tell their members when they tamper with your profile.

What is it with website duty people expecting people to read their mind?

Wow! It's a personal attack to call someone an ableist but not to call them a racist WTF

I seriously must have woken up in some crazy dystopian world :jester:

I think we should be always very careful with employing "fight the bad guys" approach, especially "fight the covert bad guys". There are very little really bad guys but plenty of people who do harmful things unintentionally, often without realizing it.
