Look this up ...nevermind, I'll provide the links for you and your 3 fellow cyber bullies:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber-bullying

Cyberbullying (also spelled Cyber-bullying, Cyber bullying or online bullying) is the term used to refer to bullying and harassment by use of electronic devices though means of e-mail, instant messaging, text messages, blogs, mobile phones, pagers, and websites. Other terms for cyberbullying are "electronic bullying," "electronic harassment," "e-bullying," "sms bullying," "mobile bullying," "online bullying," "digital bullying," or "Internet bullying".

It can constitute a computer crime. For example, in the United States it is a federal crime to anonymously "annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass any person" via the internet or telecommunication system, punishable by a fine and/or up to two years imprisonment.[1]

Cyberbullying is willful and involves recurring or repeated harm inflicted through the medium of electronic text. According to R.B. Standler[2]bullying intends to cause emotional distress and has no legitimate purpose to the choice of communications. Cyberbullying can be as simple as continuing to send e-mail to someone who has said they want no further contact with the sender. Cyberbullying may also include threats, sexual remarks, pejorative labels (i.e., hate speech)

hint: you & your cyber bully pals are really hurting the Registered Rep profession.  (Try being a little more polite, courteous and showing some manners.)

Repeat again:  read and reread the rules & policies of the forum.  You are showing total disrepect to this site by your unprofessionalism: this isn't TGP you know.

Dear Moderators:

Here's a cyber bully post.
IF you allow these posters to continue this way then these monsters will control your board.  That means no one else will want to post here (newbies, students): just these abusive posters who want to shout everyone off the board.

post scriptum:

Actus Reus Guilty act The offence of which the defendant is accused

Offense:  Being a cyber bully.

GUILTY AS CHARGED:  Please stop being a cyber bully:  you are trashing this site as well as your profession with your unprofessionalism.  (e.g. this isn't TGP).

Are you sure? You seem to thrive on abuse, such that it makes you want to post more. You may want to take yourself down to the battered women's shelter.

I am researching cyber bullies for a new book and you are my primary research subject:  keep it going.

I love it - love it, want more of it: 'cause you're making it very plain to the moderators that you are guilty of being a cyberbully.

I do think you are joedabrkr:  too bad 'cause at one time, he wasn't a bad dude.  I'm really disappointed in him.  Sad.  I thought he had more class and professionalism and would never resort to being a cyber bully especially after he told me I was "free" to post here (like I have to get his approval).

QUIT CONTROLLING THE SITE AND WHO POSTS HERE CYBER BULLIES!

(ALTHOUGH...i know bobby is going thru lots of socks right now and gets his jollies by being abusive ...especially to women.)

I've got a military background and besides experience in defending my country:  I also defend and support FREE speech.

DOWN with CYBER BULLIES!    STOP BEING A CYBER BULLY!

Apr 23, 2007 1:41 pm

How can you support free speech, yet you want another poster censored? Or

do we have to wait for your book for that?

Apr 23, 2007 1:47 pm

It’s not free speech: it’s a crime and it’s called being a CYBER BULLY!

HARRASSING OTHERS AND THEN DOING A LEGIT POST...MORE HARRASSING, BULLYING...A COUPLE OF LEGIT POSTS... ISN'T CUTTING IT.

But don't you see that it's exactly what you're doing?

Apr 23, 2007 2:21 pm

I reported this broke idiot last week also.

Hopefully the moderators will change the access to the board.  I don't know how they will be able to make sure that posters are actual NASD members or financial professionals, though. 

As you can see anyone with a psychological problem can continue to lie and create multiple personalities to enter the site and create havoc.

There is a difference between being a cyber bully as broke seems to want to define it and the reality of disagreeing with and disliking a poster.  If I followed this person from site to site and thread to thread to harass and disrupt the discourse then I would be a cyber bully.   Oh wait.  That's just what this person has been doing.   Who is the cyber bully?

Watch your step man....she's either going to accuse you of cyber bullying or being me, or both!  I never knew I was such a powerful omniscient bloke!

I find it ironic that goforbroke/jokeriswild/SexyLady freely accuses so many of us as being 'cyber bullies' when she sent me a PM directly calling me an "a-hole" within a few weeks of getting her latest screen name(on March 25 in case the mods would like to know).  A few minutes later she sent me a PM with the title "I dislike you."

This mindset of hers is the typical "victim mentality" that some folks have, one where everything bad that happens to them is someone else's fault.  They never stop and look at their behavior and consider that perhaps THEIR actions are the cause of repeated "issues".  E.G.  If she gets hassled on this board it's because we're a bunch of "bullies" and not because her posts are stupid, off-topic, and annoying.  I can see how you and Al Sharpton could be good buddies....same mindset.

It is the HEIGHT of irony that she accuses me of having multiple personalities only to distract us from HER multiple personalities.  There are at least THREE that I know of.  I suspect there are more, and perhaps goforbroke is someone else who has been a troll here in the past.  Several days ago she claimed to be posting here to investigate the career field for her son, then the day after that for herself.  Now she claims to be doing research for a book on internet bullies.  I wonder who she will be tomorrow!  The internet is a wonderful thing, because as Putsy used to say, on the internet you can be anyone.  Do you think she knows who she is, or has she completely lost touch with reality.

So tell me, goforbroke/jokeriswild if I was such a nasty multi personality bully, how is it that I have one active handle on here for over 2 years?  How do you explain that away?  Do you really think I'm that clever and have that much time to waste trying to control a piece of virtual real estate?  No...not really...I have a full life.  I just would like you to LEAVE because you're really bringing the neighborhood down.

I have questioned your intelligence(and oooohhhh that was such a tough call) your spelling, and why you continue to bother us here.  I have also politely and directly asked you to go away, to find another board more suiting your interests.  I fail to see how that is bullying.  I'd like you to cite ONE specific example where I have bullied you.  God knows you obviously have plenty of time to search for the posts.

I'm done with you.  I only hope the mods take a good hard look at your track record and make a decision, but I cannot afford to waste any more time on your silliness.

Exactly!

Thanks Babs.  You always have been good at getting to the heart of a matter!
Apr 23, 2007 2:34 pm

Wow:  maybe joedabrkr is writing a book about me.

I've finished my work here (for today).  I may be backkkk.

looks like you're following my posts, you sillyboy.

Goes to show how the one or the few ciber bullies can control who uses this site.  If the moderators want to allow this: at least I've done my job to promote free speech and to help stop Internet Crime: being an internet bully.  Joe, too bad: I thought you were a good dude. Boy! was I wrong.  Sad. 

They told others to "drop dead" (encouraged suicide)....if the moderators want to allow these monsters to control their site...oh well, it's no longer my problem.  (No extra charge for my assistance in trying to restore some professionlism here.)

BTW:  I just worked a 14 hour night shift...but I dispise cyber bullies and people who impede free speech rights of others...but lots of good research for my book.   thanks!
