In reply to the discussion: Suspect's family: 'We could see this coming'..( Seattle shooter) [View all]southernyankeebelle
(11,304 posts)74. Sometimes we all read something in a comment that wasn't meant to be hurtful. Some
people get to the point where it starts to be a pile on when maybe one or 2 people may not agree with the whole group on a topic and before you know it those 2 are being bullied. It has happened to me. Sometimes people just won't except a difference of opinions and before you know it you are being bullied. Some of the comments then turn ugly. That's why I kind of stepped in because he didn't mean anything by his comment.
