I've been bullied before (not physically, but people have tried saying s*** about me, what not) and I just chuckle at it. If someone doesn't have the cahoneys to suck it up, deck them, or just laugh it off and flick them off, so be it.

But to literally try and be like it seems everyone else nowadays (because you know, if those suicides didn't happen... nobody would be doing nothing, no "rallying"), and to literally try and... hah, stop bullying? Yeah, we haven't seen that before, and failed.

Bullying will always be around, and yes, it's a good, sweet sentiment that TNA is doing. It won't work. It will fail. I will laugh at their feeble attempts, but it should involve some good entertainment.

You will laugh because TNA actually tries to do anything good? Not one single person thinks this is going to stop the problem, and to think we do is insulting. We are well aware you hate TNA and as much as you wish to deny it, your posts say otherwise. Maybe if all you can do is bash TNA at every oppotunity regardless of what they do, then you should just stay out of the section altogether.

I'm dead serious. there have been a handful of you (and you are most definitely one of them) who just come in and s*** on every single TNA thread, and you know what? This s***'s gonna end.

There is a thread up top about people needlessly flaming or flamebaiting...we've been lax on this. But that's gonna end...and if some of you can't learn to stop trolling this section, then we will ban you...and I started with this guy.

I'm not asking for a happy feely board...I'm asking that a number of you stop acting like dicks and show a little restraint for once.

Forgive me for squeezing in one final thought, but the Abyss character really isn't a bully- he's a psychopathic madman.

I don't see any hypocrisy, partly because most wrestlers (not named Santino) are usually portrayed in their canon as guys who love a good fight. To the faces, Abyss is not someone that needs to be set straight like the average bully needs to be, he's Hogan's big hired gun that needs to be taken out- and Janice, his equalizer, complicates matters.

That's a far different atmosphere from your average middle or high school, where most students are trying to simply go about their business. There's a wide gap between the silliness we see on WWE and TNA programming, and the gravity of what actually goes on in schools.
