Best thing is not to respond to a thread / post when you feel you are being goaded by members, bullies or whoever .

Without fuel they can't stoke their fire.

Bad idea.....

At the time it might make you feel better - but then it's a permanant reminder and would cause more friction and split the board into even more 'groups' than we have now.....
I have had 'words' with the odd few on here, but wouldn't dream of adding them to any lists - once i've said my piece it's done....End of.....

There is a fine line between victim and bully....and sometimes we cross that line and become the bully ourselves.....But use the term 'standing up to them' as our excuse......

Best to 'have it out' clear the air, then get on with the fun stuff...

I would walk away and never come back, as naming can some times land folk with egg on their face, when they have named the wrong person, I have known some very nice folk be hounded off this site because of difference of opinions, so naming would be worse, remember when a name is written down folk see it, and if you delete it later those that have seen it will still think of that person as guilty. tread careful, as any one of us could be named by mistake.

I think it would be grounds for bullying and there are one or two of those around already without doing anything to aid them.

The best thing to do with a bully is ignore them - dont respond or rise to the bait.

If you make your own choice on whose thread to reply to and who not to a certain pattern will natuarly evolve.

The bullys will only talk to each other - and eventually only the biggest bully will be left as they would have scared the other bullies off .... but be left with no one to talk to.

I look at it a bit like was it Darwin - who said about Natural Selection - yes I know he said about evolution but I am talking about natural selection here.

Dont rise to the bullies and they will eventually die off.

Hi Sarah

I think GR would remove it quite quickly. They don't like you naming and shaming

Like a rogues gallery?

Ok in principle,but I have a feelign with so much suspicion around, some peoples names may be added in spite, because they believe they might be this person or that person. Fingers have been pointed in the wrong direction before.
