Would you consider it bullying if you deleted someone from your FL who clearly had an ED, then made a post about it on your wall (which is private so she couldn't see the post)?

I see it all the time, and someone was just accused of bullying by doing so.

  • Don't think it's bullying. Just middle-schoolish and mean.
    By the way - what's ED?

    Which promoting on MFP is against the guidelines.

    That's bullying?

    There's a lot more sissies on this site than I originally thought.

    I deleted a girl for this reason. I tried to help her. I privately messaged her and asked her why her GOAL for September was to eat 800 calories or less a day. She probably has my figure, so I'm sure there's some psychological issue behind this. So I removed her and said when she ACTUALLY starts eating more that she's welcome to be my friend again.

    She re-added me three weeks later and it was the same BS. I finally had to just block her. It's very sad.


    Bullying would be if I posted on my wall FIRST about how I think she's a fata$$ and should only eat 500 calories a day, while letting all my MFP friends gang up on her. So no, I don't think deleting is bullying.
  • My favorites are when people post in a topic that somebody posts in or creates then not even a minute later update their status to reflect an indirect message toward the other person in a derogatory fashion insinuating that they aren't here for help but for several different reasons. I thought we were all here to help each other and seek information and opinions from everyone, not just a specific group of people.... again, that's just my opinion, but I always thought that's what mfp was about.

    I ain't bullying anybody, I'm simply stating a fact of the site and that Erectile Dysfunction is something of a sexual nature, not anywhere close to related to one's fitness, it is a sexual medical condition.

    Rofl. I like it when someone posts about that someone thinking they won't ever see it.

    As stated on my status, it was not directly pointed at you or anybody else as I have also seen this on several occasions on here already. If it was about anybody in particular, I would post a name. I'm not afraid to do so

    It's not really bullying, but it's not really the poster's business to make the person's issues everybody else's business either. I would call it in poor taste.

    I talk smack on my *private* wall so I don't get banned from the forums or say something really mean I'll regret later. Gotta have an outlet. And no, it's not bullying. Bullying was when when I got slammed into lockers and got the *kitten* beat out of me for "dressing differently" in high school.

    I don't know if it's bullying because they can't see it. But it's sure a D move.


    So many people here love to shun/pick on people with eating disorders. It's crap really.

    no no outright bullying is choosing to delete someone with an ED .

    then posting on the forum that you did

    and then putting those people down ...... thats bullying (and yes this has happened before)

    putting whatever on your PRIVATE wall to me is fine..... if people view that as bullying .... then they can delete said person

    nothing we can do about asshats in the forums tho now can we?

    They can't see it, so it's not bullying.
