Can we seriously have Senn's long screed above edited to remove the full names of people, like myself, who would rather not be outed by someone who clearly has an axe to grind and takes pride in cyberstalking? Thanks.
Now, obviously you take offense (aka: you're butthurt) to having your real name posted out in public. Why *anyone* would be upset over their real name being exposed, I don't understand; shouldn't that be expected as part of the terms and conditions of logging on to the internet, being such a public, easily accessible environment and all? Is it because you feel ashamed that your parents chose your name now because it so closely resembles that of Justin Bieber, or something? I don't know.
I don't know, either! Because - if I had an issue with people knowing my name, *why would I be the one to point out where they could find it*?

Sounds to me like you've got a couple of good kids, Eee-Dee. And I think your comments will resonate with most of us here that are parents. Helping our children navigate through the ocean of bullying is one of the hardest tasks we face. And it ain't getting any easier.
So I'd like to take a momentary break in the topic to propose a toast to all of us here who have managed (so far) to raise decent, happy kids.
Thank you Octoberman. This truly made my day. On Thursday, I will give thanks for these 2 wonderful kids, my amazing husband and their amazing dad and for the kind words of classy people like you that I encounter along the way.

Much obliged. And that giving thanks thing ain't a bad idea--think I'll do some o' that, myself!

You are one of the good people here, edw. I remember in the late 1970s some neighborhood kids bullying my daughter - she came in the house crying. I went outside and they were still there on their little bikes - I suggested to them very sweetly that if they ever said one word to her again that I would take those bikes and shove them so far up their rectal cavities that they'd come out their own mouths. They never returned. No one messes with my daughter - not then, not now.

I love it. In childcare we are trained to be dispassionate towards things such as when bullies get there comeuppance, but I confess that when I see it I get a wee smile. Just the Dad in me, I guess...

Oh Papa Bruce, You are my hero and thank you for the compliment. It is likewise about you too sir. I still get a lump in my throat when I think about what my daughter went through. I love the story about the kids on the bikes. My daughter had one enlightened middle school principal who gave me permission to sit down with the 3 boys that were antagonizing her. Surprisingly the parents okayed it. I simply told them what they were putting her through and asked them what she had done to them deserve to the rotten treatment. They were red faced, speechless and never went near her again. We have to be ours kids' advocates and their heroes.
Do you *really* think I'm going to just brush that aside, forget about it two and a half years after the fact, and allow such actions to happen to me without consequence? It's incredibly naive and short-sighted if you do
Dude, someone said something to you on the internet and you're holding on to it two years later. Do you understand at all how unhealthy this is?
