We do take a lot of abuse.

I don't mind a little mud.

Would you have been this keen on the forums if there wasn't any banter?

I love the banter.

But, you have to admit it goes too far sometimes?

yes,

what happens on the net grows, so children and others think it's acceptable to behave in that manner. surley we can be above the average type of abuse or games played to abuse at RHP.

There has been bullying long before the internet existed. There's more focus on it nowadays, which is good. It's hard to tell whether it has become worse or whether you just hear more about it. The schools here work very hard on doing something about it.

I don't think so. Some people get up in arms because they assume others can't take it, that's all.

The irony of this all is that comparing what goes on here to real bullying is almost insulting to all kids that are really bullied in their social life.

do you think it evolved due to games played on the net?

I doubt it. I doubt it's much different from the bullying which happened fifty years ago.
