Blog Stalkers -- by Douglas ChickBlogging is short for web logging. Blogging is a forum where people post personal thoughts, web links, and opinion…but mostly opinion…a lot of opinion. If you are reading this, you are reading my blog. Once a blog is posted, it is up to its readers to qualify it as truth, lie, or opinion. There is generally a healthy exchanged of idea’s, sometimes followed by a somewhat heated debate of ideology, and in many cases it becomes personal.

Blog Stalkers, or blog bullies are bloggers that attack every post, fill the blog with page after page of almost incoherent ranting, (mostly angry rants regarding liberals or Bush/Cheney being Satan) and frightening away others from posting their opinions because they don’t want to be attacked, or worse…

Fox has 31 blogs in 31 cities. I have visited and read the posts of all 31. And in every city there is always one or two “Blog Stalkers” that control the mood of these websites, beat down its readers, and bully their opinions until their victims do not want to post anymore. Most blog stalkers or blog bullies use pictures of the flag, an eagle or a gun as their icon. I spoke with one Fox reporter who told me that they have ejected many blog stalkers, but only to see them return under yet another anyonomous name.

What has been your experiences with Blog Stalkers?

A very true statement. However, if I share my experiences here, the battle would soon be on as it never stops. It seems the "cyber bullies" who do the bullying are those who want to impose their way of thinking as being the correct way, no matter what the cost may be. To them they are always right and the rest of the World is wrong. I also believe in the near future, it won't be long before Florida follows the paths of one or two States already that have put laws in place to protect the rights of those using the internet. Then when that happens, these people will be the first to cry "Why was our Freedom of Speech taken away?" Good post, I have learned the best way to fight them is ignore them. But at times, when the instigation is bad, I do believe we have a right to stand up for ourselves. Then if they drag your name every where, then it's just punishment for them without us having to do anything. As we can move on and have fun as their hatred consumes every breath they take. As MoonOwl stated in one of my blogs, "Mean People Suck!"...lol.

As I had shared with another blogger before, when the paranoia of the "cyber bullies" flow into new users, then that's when I tend to try to set matters straight. Actually a good experience to share is right in your backyard, take a peek at:

And then maybe you'll see what I mean, that at certain times, standing up and correcting a situation is warranted. But I suppose with the "cyber bullies" stalking all the time, well pe

well perhaps they just may learn something if not through those they harass and bully, then in time when their Freedom is taken away from them and everyone else. Then what will they do? Because if that happens, those of us who have behaved and can continue to behave, will be able to still participate in Blogs as we always have, the bullies on the other hand will more than likely shrivel up if they were made to completely behave at all times.
