Twat Friends
BraynDedd tugs our sleeve and asks: "You know the one, the mate who is guaranteed to ruin every social situation by being an embarrassment/sexist/racist/bellend etc. Tell us about your twattiest mate."

I'm nothing to do with any of this old shit
but I used to quite enjoy reading this website and the QOTW. Then the other week a friend mentioned this really good, funny website named b3ta. "It's not as good as it used to be" I replied.
... because it's full of whinging and accusations of bullying and less and less actual stories.
So here's my Voice of Reason / Good old fashioned Common Sense take on this. Bullying involves an unpleasant situation to which an innocent victim is unwittingly exposed. If a bigger kid at school is beating you up, you nevertheless have to keep going to school. If a malicious colleague is making your life at work a misery, you can't just stop turning up, because you wouldn't get paid.
If a poisonous relative is creating problems, you can't just choose to ignore your family. BUT if you feel that someone you'll never meet is picking on you via a website, then just stop going on the website! Find something else to do!
You will say this is just giving in to nasty people. But if they really are bullies, they are getting pleasure out of taunting you, so you can deny them that.
