I'm glad that you had a good experience with the discussion forum stuff and that you and others are still above ground.
For me, that era was the epitome of cyberbullying, largely due to one group that seemed to enjoy demeaning and ridiculing others. The behavior often crossed the line into outright cruelty. It wasn’t just directed at me, however. A few others were targeted as well.
More recently, when Joshua Filler was cyberbullied on social media for changing his mind about which tournament to go to, the attacks were vicious and on a global scale. Joshua and Pia Filler chose to remain radio silent and not respond. They simply kept competing, and eventually the noise faded. I admire the maturity the Fillers showed. Looking back, I wish I had done the same when I was the target.
