Of coarse seeing them banned from a site would be good too.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that you just want people to feel bad, not really to have them taught lessons.

That's untrue.

No it's not. You're just seeing that way for no good reason.

I believe this topic was titled "What is your *opinion*..."

MY opinion is, and I shall not be bashed for this, that sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me. All people have their own views, and forcing them to agree with yours is unethical in most all accounts. There is a time to tell people about the amazing world of furries, and a time to just leave them be. Them bashing is not a time to try to convert anyone to any view, or ridicule them for wording. You can't win all wars, so some are better just not being fought.

If you really think that ignoring people is the best route, then you're too weak to do anything about the problem.

You guys are probably wondering why I take such, dare I say it, "animosity" toward being told to ignore bullies. Because I've tried that many times before, and have been met with the same fate: Bullying continues to get worse and worse for me, I begin to feel more and more miserable, and NOTHING is done about it: EVER. But, every time I yell at them, and scold them for it, THAT is when they stopped for then. Ignoring them doesn't teach them a lesson, it just empowered them for me. It made them feel more and more entitled to do what they wanted until something was finally done about it.

And that, in a nutshell, is why I strongly dislike the "ignore" theory.

Ok, calling people weak because they ignore problems makes yourself weak because you don't have enough strength to ignore them, and also petty because you're, well, calling people weak.

What's stronger, sitting here QQ'ing about everyone bad person and every other persons ways to deal with them, or being able to ignore the bad people and not let it get to you?

It's getting to the point where you're being more insulting in this thread, than "furfag" has.

Ok I'm locking this thread for these reasons.

1. It's gone off topic, no longer about the word furfag and all about trolls and bullying
2. People are being personally attacked it seems.
3. The thread in general has just completely spiraled out of control.
