This guy who picks on me, he does it in the most terrible way possibly. He actually goes back on posts to find photos i've posted and uses them against me. He calls me ugly, he says how my nose is so big it looks like a beak. He's attacked my sister which I do not deal with well. He finds anything I say and tries to use it against me. This is how pathetic I am, I actually let this idiot get to me, I still think about the things he says. Its terrible. I feel stupid for letting some idiot get to me.

Oh man, internet bullying and me go a long ways back.
...No, that last line isn't going to trigger a flashback scene or anything.
Anyway, I was on this Maplestory fan-forum, and for over a year, these imbeciles were bullying me to the point I was miserable, yet for some reason I kept going back to the forum. I was a lot younger back then. Most likely I wouldn't let myself be bullied over-the-internet like that again.
There are differences between troll and a cyber-bully. Cyber-bullies are POSes that are genuinely cruel, while a troll is just a bored person with some free time manipulating the human psyche for the lulz.
there is no clear way to distinguish the real motive of someone without seeing them in real life. Bullies and obvious trolls (direct insults) are probably extroverts and "expert" trolls (ones that makes it hard for you to say that they are trolling) are probably introverts. They both have a common goal; to gain pleasure from making others feel miserable.

I go to their house and beat the crap out of them, dont worry, you wont get convicted.

But Being serious, you have to be smart with these trolls, some people want to counter-troll, no problem. The main tactic still works, ignore them. I dont use any of those crappy social networking sites or anything so I wont get into anything that serious. Hell, I have trolled people myself and the fun begins when the person attempts to fight back. Think of it like quicksand.

I got burned by Pikablu once... or his, brother.. or something? it was along time ago and I used to look back at it because it was REALLY FUNNY. Now it is, not during it happened.
Anyways, I usually dont get bullied since if they try to bully me, I just say "shut up, NA douche". Either that or I just dont remember them. Dwelling on what's bad is usually a bad thing. Dwell more on good things, it will get you through your day, and make you more happy.

Can't you report the user?
Unless it is the nexon forum, I'm pretty sure the mods will ban hammer that idiot.

Meh, I've been on Nexon Forums. There are so many trolls there, that most of the time tons of users get away with flaming and trolling.

I spend some time every day thinking up a new somewhat creative insult to add to my dis-bank for future use :l
Of course, it's not always successful.
But when people get me pissed I can be really mean at times.
And not feel guilty afterwards.
Which is the silver lining.
The consequences aren't always pretty though.
Haven't really been cyber-bullied. I don't get bothered too often by those kinds of people who insult me straight.
Subtle (or extremely obvious) trolls, however, get on my nerves pretty fast. It gets to the point where I'm wishing they'll just get banned and over with.
No, Pika, I don't consider you a troll/chaos inducer.

I gotten internet bullied before, but that's because I invited it.
Before when I was like... young and all, I use to like... say things that just invited trolling... but than again it was because I decided to comment negatively on things because I didn't know what I was doing... so in essence I what like a part troll since I initiated it, but it never got far since it's just not in me to directly insult someone...
The sad thing is that I was a bystander of a online friend of mines getting trolled but I couldn't do nothing... I seen many people get trolled in chatboxes and I guess that clicked a switch in my head to make me become the person I am... Although we can't stop trolls, we can prevent trolls by making smart decisions and being friendly so people don't have to troll. Also if someone does decided to troll for the sake of trolling, I just don't respond back unless their trolling is weak that I can pick on it and tell them to stop trolling.

I think I've been lucky enough to never be targetted by specific 'cyber bullying', unless you count trolls (I think there distinctly different things), but trolls are easy to deal with. My only advice I can give to you is dont let them get to you, say to yourself do you even care what some 1/6,000,000,000 person believes?

Has anyone ever been verbally attacked by someone through the internet?
Whether it be forums or chat rooms or even mabinogi?
Let me tell you it sucks. I belong to this one forum cB. Saani would know this too since that's where I met her and she would know about this too.
Anyways, the most terrible thing on that forum are some of the people. They aren't afraid to bring you down whatsoever.
This one guy, he isn't afraid to say anything, he's said any possible hurtful thing to me. He's gotten photos of me and used them against me, calls my nose a beak nose.
The saddest part is I actually let his words get to me, despite not knowing him personally I let some idiot actually get to me and its sad. I even remember he made a bashful post dedicated to me.
So my question is, have you ever been bullied via internet? Did you do anything about it?
Why do you go on that forum if people get to you there, Tomates? :/ It’s unhealthy. If people know something hits close to home and they don’t care about you they will just say it again, and worse.
I get a lot of hate from kids on the internet because I’m mad stylin’ on them. I remember some boy once posted a hating topic on me on another forum. Boy, was he angry. Ahahah.
Words are just noise.
In the words of Gevlon, Tomates: “The solution is not "thick skin". You don't have to "fight" trolls, nor you have to "handle the bad-mouthing colleagues".
They are not harming you! Their words are no more harmful than machine noise with the same decibel.â€

I hope you’ve cut them out off your life?

Hey, Tomates, my nose is pretty huge too.
It adds to my awesomeness. Don’t
EVER let someone get to you when he talks about your physical features that you can’t change. He’s not a troll. You are not pathetic. He is trash.

I've tried. Thats the thing. No one seems to care. A lot of people think he's funny. He gets away with a lot.
Just so you know. This is the kind of stuff he says all the time to me
“she can’t see around her nose that we’re not mods. i mean seriously though have you seen that honker. i bet that no one ever asks her out and she has to do it herself but gets rejected for being an italian jew. that and they’re probably not into bestiality. oh tomatoes I don’t hate you I pity you for not thinking about using your weeaboo tendencies to fly over to korea to get your face fixed. then and maybe then will people actually respect you and maybe you can stop being such a cry baby :) god you’re worse than beenly and he’s fat and flamboyantâ€
His name is Steven Hamren.
The website is createblog.com and his nick name on there is Serotonin.

He only gets away with so much because he's well liked. Best thing to do is ignore him. That's the main reason why I don't go there anymore, is that people just became **** talkers and the mods pretty much let anyone do whatever they want.

I tried ignoring. Got to the point that even if I did he would still act out.
Or I would ignore him and he would pick on my sister...then I would tell him to leave her alone.
I get very defensive when someone tries to hurt my sister.
