The flip side of the coin

Have I get this right? Now that this thread has been moved to Rant and Rave, all those threads that whinge and moan about bike shops will appear here too?

Just read this thread through. Whatawanker, and after running a retail/trade business for 15 years, there is one thing I agree on in this thread, and that is that Poms are the most awkward, entitled, abusive, retarded,whinging, England was better because...,tight ass customers we had to deal with.

Just wait 'till you have to deal with Israeli's.

They dont whinge and whine like the poms - but talk about arrogant, entitled, obnoxious aresholes....

[TheDemonLord]

Also, Demon, have you heard about 'peeple' now there's something to get a bit fidgety about...

A good idea that needs some refinement - I like the idea of Anonymous reviews for better service - but tis scary to think that I could place spurious reviews for services a world away without any hinderance

It's been a shit idea from day one mate, primarily with concerns over cyber bullying actually.

And I mean you can't review a person anonymously, that's even stupider than being able to review a person to begin with.

I think you miss his point, it is cyber bullying, that is the punishment, that is how we punish such things; should we not first decide if it is ok or not?

It's not cyber bullying, it's people rallying around a chum that's looked after them & bagging an asshat for being a tool. It's how life works.

Again, that sounds like cyber bullying (albeit righteously). To put it another way, how would you describe cyber bullying?

Picking on Shaun Harris, who's not a bad prick deep down, just an easy target sometimes
This bloke here is a true tool, if you want to back a fuckin low life gutless thief then fill your boots.
I understand 'book is going off on the same topic hard out, although not a member.

I don't think you are getting the point, there is a distinction between act, and motivation/righteousness. I've been quite clear in my post that I think the cyber bullying of the aformentioned tool is righteous and I have no desire to back him, but I'm not self righteous enough to think that it's not bullying just cos I think I'm right

I trust your position on this comes from owning a automotive repair business that's been treated this way on occasions for more than the last 25 years. Mine does.
Fuck him, we've all got a living to make.

Le sigh,

Its got nothing to do with what business one is in - it is purely about calling the act exactly what it is - regardless of motivation, justification etc.

So what your saying is when crimewatch or police 10/7, or even the newspaper publish names to seek feedback or to inform the public on people they are interested in, its "cyber" bullying?

I can't see an issue with a bit of "naming and shaming" in this situation. Even our local $2 shop has pics of shoplifters in their front window...

Noooo, that's telly bullying.

My position comes from knowing what the term actually means, fuck your self righteous automotive repair business background.

These blokes below get it.

Mind you, a paper, and perhaps even the telly, probably isn't fulfilling the cyber bit of it.
