Regular occuring responses from a group on this forum include ridicule, sarcasm, denigration when someone acts for help and advice.
All of the above are forms of bullying and intimidation. And yes your behaviour does influence children who then go on and bullying others - bullies learn it is okay to act aggressively towards others.
there is plenty of evidence and discussions on this in society, but still people continue to do it.
Bullying - Characteristics of Children Who Bully
Children who bully: Often have role models with similar behavior. Children who physically bully are frequently exposed to violence or aggression, such as on television or within their family. They have a positive view of this behavior and act aggressively toward other people, including adults
The behaviour is SERIOUS and there is no reason at all for it to be present on a forum.
This behaviour by adults is then what children pick up and copy sometimes to the extreme with serious consequences
