    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.

    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

    Coulda fooled me.

    By the way - what's ED?

    Erectile dysfunction?

    ED on this site is an Eating Disorder, get your mind outta the gutter man

    That's where you think the gutter is? Woah guy, you're not going to last long on these forums...

    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?

    stop bullying him :tongue: :wink:

    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.

    YOu seem like a fun person.

    No - not directly as s/he was not able to see it.

    No need to be mean, just delete and move on

    No, I think it's weak sauce, but not bullying.

    So, there's a unanimous agreement that it's not bullying?

    I guess some people just a stick up their butt about certain things in life and like to blow it all out of proportion.

    Oh, and I don't have any lunch money. You'll need to ask the other dork down the hall.

    I think the word bullying is overused.

    I was being friended by a lot of people with ED's. I don't know if its because I'm small so they thought I had one too or what. It got to be frustrating. And sometimes I deleted them but I never posted anything about it on my wall. I have seen others do that also and I feel like they were just venting. Of course the ones that I saw do it did not use the person's username in their post. I think that is wrong. Still not sure I would call it bullying though.

    Bullying is when you try to intimidate someone who is weaker. If the person vented on their own wall about it, doesnt sound like they were trying to be intimidating to the other person.

    Why post on your wall? Just delete if having ED friends is out of bounds for you.

    I wouldn't consider it bullying to delete somebody, but why bother saying something on the wall..no matter if its seen by this person or not
