Is bullying a common practice on fab if someone doesn't agree with the majority views

Can't say that it is common but it does happen now and again.

Then again what one person perceives as bullying another might see as dick measuring.

If bullying is seeking to harm or coerce a person who is vunerable then no I have not seen that here.

I've seen pile ons

I've seen white knighting

I've seen flame wars (ask your parents kids)

I've seen shit posting

I've seen circlejerk

But I've not seen directly what I would consider bullying.

Haven't seen any of it on here & don't want to either.

That said if someone feel it's happening to them. Don't be afraid to tell someone about it. Your not along, be that on here or in your normal life.

I never see bullying at all, only the usual fools with one of them passing a clickbait comment to trigger their team into action against people they don't agree with, but they do it in such a way as to not get a ban. I wouldn't term any of that bullying, just people being arsey because they have fuck all else going on in their life. Only happens in the Irish forums, which says a lot.

The definition of bullying often gets badly stretched here.

It's a subjective term in some ways so if you feel you're being bullied then maybe you are. There's probably a fine line between piss taking and bullying

I would like someone to explain to me exactly what constitutes bullying on this site though.

I think you can only talk of bullying if it's happening again and again over a stretch of time, kinda systematic.

What op is talking of is random fab mob picking, I wouldn't call it bullying.

I wouldn’t class it as bullying, I think it’s ppl used to being on their social media echo chambers where everyone shares their views and agrees with them and then their views meet the outside world. Ppl fundamentally disagreeing with you is not bullying

I’ve not seen any consistent bullying, however seen plenty of rudeness, belittling, white knighting, group piling on. All due to disagreements rather than any discord.

Yet that’s the way of the world, look at Facebook, twitter, instagram etc they’re all the same.

If its in connection with the thread last week where you got called out then I wouldn't call it bullying

The women in question was very polite and gave her point of view which was completely different to your point of view

She didn't ask for a pile on and maybe you'll learn from it in the future

"Is bullying a common practice on fab if someone doesn't agree with the majority views"

I actually enjoy the odd spanner being thrown in and enjoy the different opinions on a interesting topic being discussed. I always did see those who hold different views more interesting whether I agree with those views or not. Some are better at debating their point than others. It's not accepting a different point of view that causes friction. I don't see bullying but I can sense condescending behaviour at times. It's not attractive.

Some just throw in incendiary comments for the rise and that definitely adds flavour.

I've had messages from people complaining that they were being victimised in particular forum threads and when I've gone and looked they hadn't even commented on those threads.

The obvious question then is how are you being victimised if you haven't posted?

The response has been that certain forumites shun them or hate them and are always having digs at them in various threads.

When I told them that if they live by the sword they will die by the sword I'm branded as "bad as those other bullies"

Bullying unwanted negative behaviour, verbal, psychological or physical, conducted by an individual or group against another person (or persons) and which is repeated over time.

Don't think I've seen bullying here, yes I've seen posts been " attacked/commented/Ridiculed " on here by keyboard warriors by people who think their opinion is the right one. I've been on the receiving end of bitching on here but don't consider it bullying.

Take the majority of what happens here with a pinch of salt and follow your own path, there's 2 sides to a story often wires get crossed , stories are told and one person is believed over the other.

Sometimes it's just a matter of what someone posts is worded wrong and people read it differently.

And if anyone does feel their been bullied whether on here on in life, speak up, report it.

Don't forget shitposting and circle jerk. Three are the cornerstones of every online community.

Other cornerstone's are all the very nice ones of course. But it's both that make it entertaining.

A majority disagreeing isn't bullying, nor is it necessarily a pile on despite it perhaps being perceived thus.

There are definitely a lot of sly underhand remarks aimed at some people here. I've mentioned before the status updates aimed at a popular hotlist lady. Also another lady whose status updates were aimed at party ladies who were with "their man". These all were horrible for those involved. Notes are a great thing to help avoid the negative and bitchy people here.

Yes it's all to easy on here due to the transient nature of the site ..

I guess the place works for people when they chat privately more so..its certainly very easy to see some of the long time verified people taking the piss in the cliques

There is a term, bullying by exclusion which is fairly prevalent on fab as a whole where you encourage people to avoid others for all sorts of shallow reasons including lamppost pissing.

Anyone on here for any length of time will have been told at some stage not to talk to someone.

Most will dismiss it but it's just a more subtle form of bullying.

As others have said I haven't seen bullying as such. Yes I've seen people disagreeing,yes I've seen pile ons in the forums especially towards men's posts. I've seen those who have stirred shite by the posts they put on then play the victim when people don't agree with them. I've seen digs at others and I've seen people voice their experiences on here and be told what they are saying is a dig as oppose to what has happened to them on here. But out and out bullying no I haven't seen it at least not on the forums.

Behind the scenes yes I've seen where people have been piled on and told to leave fab because they have been blacklisted by people who believe they have power on here. (it's one of the reasons I don't do groups as it's usually in these that crap like that happens).

Is that bullying ? Maybe it is,but you can only be bullied if you allow yourself to be. Especially on fab or any internet site. It's easier to ignore those,use the block button. Use notes to keep a record of those you want to avoid. And avoid falling into the drama and bull that happens on here.

People just disagreeing on the forums is not bullying though and it's a disservice to call it such.

I’ve experienced it first hand when I launched Flame Club Nights.

Not on fab itself but in group chats with the so called fab elite .

Intimidation , derogatory comments about me and my character , false allegations about me .

Also my several attempts to host flame in Dublin have been sabotaged .

At the time it was sh!t

I didn’t give it the air time .

Anybody that’s met me along the way knows I’m a straight talker . I don’t entertain bull sh!t .

I’m just here for a good time .

These people aren’t worth it .

The first woman I met on fab gave me a list of women who she considered poison. She hated everyone.

I shouldn't have been surprised that she ghosted me as soon as I met those people to make up my own mind.

They were all sound as it turns out.

I don't doubt your personal experience, or mine even. I doubt your exaggeration about how prevalent it is across the platform.

By your own admission you are not in chat groups, you don't sent messages and you don't do meets on fab.

That amounts to a pretty small sample size of anecdotal information.

"There is a term, bullying by exclusion which is fairly prevalent on fab as a whole where you encourage people to avoid others for all sorts of shallow reasons including lamppost pissing.

Anyone on here for any length of time will have been told at some stage not to talk to someone.

Most will dismiss it but it's just a more subtle form of bullying.

I've actually never been told not to talk to someone. I guess it's because I don't participate in group chats or messaging people about other people.

Nor have we, probably for exactly the same reasons

Me neither.

Want to start a group chat about it?…..

Where we idly speculate as to who might be doing it and pass it on to anyone who will listen?

In!!

Well me could do that, but also boob pics, lots and lots of boob pics…..

I only have my own, I'm afraid"

They're alright like...don't like to be in a boob clique

I've actually never been told not to talk to someone. I guess it's because I don't participate in group chats or messaging people about other people.

I haven't been in a group chat in years but that didn't stop the messages warning me off people I engaged with in the forums and told how they were dangerous, hideous individuals and not how they appear.

I've even been sent facepics of other fabbers attached to messages saying you wouldn't want to meet her. Look at the state of her.

I don't doubt your personal experience, or mine even. I doubt your exaggeration about how prevalent it is across the platform.

By your own admission you are not in chat groups, you don't sent messages and you don't do meets on fab.

That amounts to a pretty small sample size of anecdotal information."

I'm concede it may be a small sample size and maybe prevalent was a poor choice of words but I stand by the fact that it happens.

If someone who doesn't take part in groupchats and who's only involvement on the site is on the forums with no direct knowledge of all the goings on still somehow attracts warning messages from random women, what must it be like for those who are invested in all the drama?

I'd say that's a different question and subject to more speculation than I have info to be informed about.

Your not wrong about bitchy chat groups. They do exist but I believe it's a small subset of the general fab membership at best.

I don't know if you read all 43 replies but the vast majority appear to suggest it doesn't happen from what I've seen.

And the first three words of the second sentence were “not on fab”…….

There’s no doubt it happens in one form or another to a greater or lesser degree, but obviously more than it should….

A difference in opinions can make good forum chats. Its just how you get your opinion across that makes the difference. Being rude condescending and bitter is not the way to go and usually signifies that there is something else going on in that persons life and are to be pitied.

I think its not only fab though its modern day life like I think when its done to kids its unacceptable but when its down between adults its seen as ok and its expected that you just get over it.

9 times out of 10 anyone who’s putting someone down or being part of a group who think there superior to the rest and belittles as group and joins forces to back each other up are lacking something in there life and use it to compensate for that.

I have been on fab a long time, throughout I would say yes I have seen on the forums what I class as school ground bullying. Cliques,groups pinpointing and targeting individuals. However its not something iv seen in recent years.

I personally have received some private messages because of my own personal preferences and my opinions albeit I wouldn't waste my energy on keyboard warriors however I can see how some people may feel bullied by such. I wouldn't waste my time or lose sleep over complete strangers

Big group? No but there are individuals who will take issue with others and go out of their way to badmouth them and make up stories about others. I've seen it myself in person in a past incarnation here. Myself and Dee have been on the receiving end of these individuals and their drama productions. It's not pleasant.

When issues being discussed are divisive, some people might think they are being picked on;if the majority don't agree with them. This is just life. If everyone agreed on everything it would be pretty freaking boring. In saying this , having an unpopular opinion is pretty normal for some people, being rude is too, bullying isn't , people call it out as soon as they see it.

That's what I see here anyway ..

Fab, in general, is sound. Unless your a creep and then there is no mercy.

What do you mean by no mercy...

Creeps are not tolerated and they are reported. People talk to each other and mind each other.

And what about if one person wants to blacklist someone and tell lies about them is that tolerated is that minding each ,very easy for someone who thinks thay above someone with big circle of friends to make shit of someone..."

Sounds like you fell out with someone, and it seems like they are turning their friends against you. Sounds like they were never your friends, whatever you thought. Fab is a bit harsh like that. Block them all and move on. Find the rides elsewhere

"Just the once I felt hard done by when I dared to praise Bono and fell foul of a rather nasty backlash.

My God people here hate him with a passion. The usual begrudgery!

I still think he's great "

Ah you're alright like, Bono is still a prick though

It's usually the civil servants that don't like Bono, all that tax should be giving them pay rises!!!

I'm a civil servant and didn't like bono long before I was a civil servant. Oh and the pay rises don't make much odds to the normal civil servants

I have used username search but cant find a Bono. He must have his profile hidden. If I met him I wouldn't know him from Adam. I hope you are not on Edge while Mullin that over.

"The first woman I met on fab gave me a list of women who she considered poison. She hated everyone.

I shouldn't have been surprised that she ghosted me as soon as I met those people to make up my own mind.

They were all sound as it turns out.

Possibly enjoyed your company and wanted you to herself. Maybe a shit way to go about it but it does happen.

Could be a great idea for a social, like the organised white collar boxing events. Fab white collar boxing.

"I haven’t seen bullying myself . As previous ppl have said though I have experienced people being very rude and insulting and just being nasty and assholes for no reason other than being assholes . I have been abused but I don’t think it’s bullying . It’s just them showing their true selfs . "

Could be an Arsenal thing!

I have had this experience. And the woman I described my experience with above did exactly that. She is a long established, respected swinger and after she ghosted me she started to tell people not to meet me.

I can only answer your question in respect of my own experience and I would say that if someone does that to you and you are a man in good standing in the community then it shouldn't matter. It still feels pretty shitty but at the end of the day what I learned is all that matters on here is that the people who's trust you have gained and given are not going to turn you away because one person has taken it upon themselves to try fuck your shit up.

People know there are two sides to every story and sensible people stay out of both and rely on their own judgement.

Absolutely

We had 'hints' not to meet a guy and were unfriended/blocked aftetwards for meeting him.

We make up our own minds on people when we meet them.

Definitely, We have had someone warn us of a particularly dodgy individual and how he had threatened them. We would deem them trustworthy, and would heed their advice! But in general, we'd row our own boat.

Have also seen a few profiles stating they won't meet people who have met a certain profile or been to certain events, socials or parties! We wouldn't give them a second thought!

We've never been warned against anyone. We have had people attempt to draw us into gossip about others - this activity immediately makes that person a non-runner for us. These are often the people who are sweet as pie on the forum - too sweet to be wholesome

When I was brand new on the scene, a well known and well established woman who I didn't even know existed started telling people that I'm a pr0s titute. On top of that back in the day people were able to create a bogus profile, message someone then delete profile and message would still stay in the receivers inbox.

I was receiving very nasty messages from deleted profiles on a weekly basis at the same time as that woman's poisonous rumours were being spread around the community.

People treated me weirdly and I didn't know why.

Fast forward a few months - someone even created a profile using my photos on a site where ladies sell sexual favours. Thankfully some kind souls spotted it and were kind enough to let me know about it so I could contact that sites admins to take it down.

There still are people who are told that I used to be a lady of the night to this day.

So much for working 70+ hour weeks in jobs that don't require one to get naked and doesn't involve sexual favours for over 13 years to progress my actual career.

That woman has been known to be extremely dramatic and manipulative. She didn't just hurt me, but a lot more women who happened to fall into her circle while pretending to be their best friend.

Aside from that little circle of the serpent queen herself and her blind worshippers I haven't really seen any bullying on fab.

Do some people disagree? Yes

Do they exchange words? Yes

Is it systematic? No

Is stuff directed towards anyone in particular? No

Just my personal point of view

Missus

Ive been unfriended and blocked by women on here because I'm friends with someone else

Imagine sending an adult a message to say you can't be friends with her or I'll block you and then still chatting to them on the forums

I've spoken to women at socials who are all polite to me and then have found out afterwards that they send threats to other men saying they'll get them black listed from socials

So if someone feels bullied it must be a horrible experience and if it happens on the forums then hopefully its called out

I know years ago someone fucked me out of it on a thread and 2 decent men that are still on here had a go at him and he was removed from the site

I'd like to think there's still enough people on here that would do the same for anyone
