The use of online forums.

I am a member of a few forums online, and I still to this day am amazed by some people and their attitudes on them.
Some people can be downright pathetic and act like children.

I personally use a Forum for support, whether it be for weight loss, parenting or just on another subject or hobby I am interested in.
We all use a forum for the same reason, to talk about a topic that is of interest to us, or that we need support in that we may not find elsewhere, such as from our friends and family around us in "real life"

But when people start using them as ways to "target" people, or Bully people for no good reason at all, It disgusts me. Surely people have better things to do with their lives? and if they don't, well they need to take up a new hobby. Harassing people who have done nothing but show support for others on the forum is ridiculous, and they are surely only doing it out of jealousy. Whether it be they are jealous of how popular the person is, how well liked the person is or how many posts that person has I don't know, but there is no acceptable reason for Harassment.

So to those who are doing it, take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror and realise just how pathetic you are, and then do us all a favour and grow up.
