Heaven Help those who heed RWO

I don't thing there is anything on RWO that could be constituted as "Cyber Bullying"

What is Cyber Bullying?


Stop Cyber Bullying

No matter what your opinion is on my POV you've got to love this line.

"Furthermore, cyber-bullies might be emboldened when using electronic means to carry out their antagonistic agenda because it takes less energy and courage to express hurtful comments using a keypad or a keyboard than with one?s voice."

[Lohengrin]

Bullying is usually defined as something that is done directly to people, but the players are not here, so it's not really bullying. For some people here it perhaps feels like bullying because they take any criticism personally.

I was never top of the class in english at school, always looking out the window.

While most comments made on this forum are fair I find there can be a habbit of attacking individual players a little harshly which (to me) is an example of bullying.

I know some will not agree with this but that's just the way I see it.

Yeah.
Kinda wondering about the context in which it was used.
Don't know that various people here having a sook about team selections is 'cyber bullying'.

I'd hate to think that the AFL was mortally wounded every time I have a sook about the free to air Swans coverage.

Perhaps I should send them a 'sorry' email in case I hurt their feelings

All I can say is next time a player like Cuz come on the market I am going to use the biggest viral marketing, cyber space of an information age campaign to get him to the Swans and then we'll see what happens.

Supporters are entitled to have a rant. Sometimes it is for certain players and sometimes it is against certain players. Sometimes they are right and sometimes they are wrong. But there is nothing to suggest that players, officials and coaches get it right all the time either. There are plenty of players selected who fail to make it, or who play on too long, or who don't play well when selected, and coaches who make the wrong recruitment, selection or game day decisions.

I think fans have been critical of teams and players since the invention of sports - this is nothing new. The only difference is that the potential for widespread publishing is far greater now.

Bugger them. Play well and they won't get bagged out. It's not rocket science.

Football is much more scientific than a pointy cylinder full of hi octane

Great article.

I think it's a fair call to dismiss the rants (or should I say "professional advice" ) of supporters when it come to coaching choices and player form (cyber bullying) but the clubs need to take note of the forums when issues are directly affecting the fans ( e.g. the Membership stuff ups of this year)

Good read and SO true.
