Bullying? Oh give me a fukkin’ break. You are someone who intentionally farts in a social setting and who when people ask him to please stop, that they find his farts annoying, says “Hey it’s just my thing.” Most people just ignore the farter, a fart is really no big deal, just a mild annoyance, and it isn’t like we cared about hearing anything else the twerp had to say anyway. But every so often someone says: “Yo. Do not intentionally fart. It is rude.” To that farter’s "amusement. No dickwad, being told your continuing with behavior that is annoying is rude is not being bullied and you are not bravely refusing to knuckle under. You just like farting and annoying people with your farts. No, you are not a poor bullied **Snowboarder**. You are the rude farter who most just try to not stand near. I remain convinced it is beyond being a jerk and is a weak ass attempt at trolling because I cannot believe that you are so clueless as to not realize that that is who you are. ---

It’ll be interesting to see how many people still like it once hearing the reasoning behind it. It’s like watching the Donnie Darko commentary. ---

I always laugh when the word bullying is used on an _anonymous_ message board by one _anonymous poster against another anonymous_ poster. Those little pixels must be highly trained terrorists to accomplish that. ---

Another essential component of bullying is “the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power, which distinguishes bullying from conflict.” (lifted from your first cite, which you used to define bullying) This is conflict, you fucking turd. You’re not being bullied. ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > I always laugh when the word bullying is used on an _anonymous_ message board by one _anonymous poster against another anonymous_ poster. Those little pixels must be highly trained terrorists to accomplish that. Except this isn’t an anonymous board; it’s a _pseudonymous_ board, where we register our board identities under semi-permanent usernames and post in different permanent forums with social rules and expectations. Bullying can absolutely happen here. On the other hand, \*\*Snowboarder Bo \*\*ain’t being bullied. He’s got a pet little catchphrase that he uses overly broadly and that gets him attention. People do this sort of thing. Some observers find it amusing, while others aren’t so amused. Tolerance varies. But rebuking a fellow poster because of an overused _non sequitur_ -on a discussion board- isn’t bullying. ---

So our intentional farter, having been asked nicely, and sticking out his tongue in response, is told by a few “Hey don’t be such a dick. Cut it out.” “[Help! I am being repressed!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxGqcCeV3qk) I am being bullied! I will not knuckle to this oppression! Fart free or die!” “No, dumbfuck. You are not being bullied.” “See. You called me a name. Wah!!!” FWIW I am not trying to force you to do anything. I make no threats. I coerce naught. I don’t even [fart in your general direction](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWBUl7oT9sA). I don’t give a shit. I was bored enough to open up this thread, curious about where the hosts of this party (the mods) draw the lines of how much intentional jerkiness (farting) it takes for someone to be asked to stop or at least step outside until they can control themselves, and amused enough by the absurdity of your casting yourself as a victim of bullying to comment. I know you are an intentional farter so it is easy enough for me to skip anything you write in general. I have never seen anything that you have written that is a contribution and since I skip over you mostly if you ever do I won’t. As stated I’m with those who think that **Guin** ’s whining about your still farting on purpose is feeding a weak assed troll. She should just do what most of the rest of us do and skip anything with your name attached as a matter of course. No one forces any of us to read what you write any more than anyone forces of us to engage with the putz who keeps farting in self-stimulatory amusement. Feel free to fart all you like. The mods have determined that it is not jerky enough to warrant action and do not want to label it as trolling: you are just the person in the party who likes to fart and laugh that that was a good one and they are wiling to have you here doing that. Their party, not mine, and again, I’ll just go and drink my beer talking to someone else. No worries mate. Enjoy yourself! Try the bean dip, it will help yo have an even better time! ---

I saw the phrase recently, and had no idea what it meant. Now I do. So this pit thread was educational and entertaining. Well, parts of it were. > [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > It absolutely is bullying. I see it as an attempt to bully somebody, making shit up is actually slander, or is it libel? In either case, since there is absolutely no enforcement of the user agreement, or consequences for making shit up, telling lies, the would be bully, a real fuckhead if you will, can actually can just keep doing it. > [@madsircool](#): > > Iirc he called her a cunt in one of the earlier threads. See? If that’s a lie (and t certainly seems to be), there is no consequence for telling it, and of course some people will believe it, and it’s an attempt to smear somebody, **which is against the fucking user agreement** , but it doesn’t matter because it’s the pit, and the user agreement doesn’t apply here. In any case, nobody really gives a fuck. ---
