Now, Id like to take everyone's SERIOUS attention away from world war III and make everyone who reads this aware of Internet Bullying. We all have been victims and attackers of it. I for one, have been both at one point. If you stop reading now. You should really get your head checked. There have been a few instances in a few games where Internet Bullying has occured in their "Cirlce" of online buddies where the people have took it to extremes as of trying, and successfully killing theirselves. Not only is Internet Bullying getting more and more rampant, but It is getting out of hand. And I, have seen this firsthand with someone I know, and im not going to disclose who they are, because a few players in dp know me in real life. But when kicking, viewgibbing and name calling goes on, on any server, Im not just pointing this at graffiti because its not the only place it ever happens. Just way more frequently. A few ppl have lost ops to apex for doing so. IT IS a form of internet bullying. As much as a poop and giggle anyone gets out of it, It can still hurt someone emotionally, and cause damage. Yeah, you may think, so what, its a game.. But some people might take it to heart, and im not just talking about being mad about it. Im talking emotionally making an impact on them that could lead to depression. This is the main reason i get pretty mad when stuff like this happens. No, it doesnt bother me really, i just get mad, but it could eventually impact someone to a state of depression. And for all you guys or gals out there reading this, and thinking, OMG, what a loser. You're probably a bully. And I think it would be greatly sad that you would feel that way with such a serious topic.
Id just like everyone to think about this when they are playing, and admins to any server definetely think about this also.
If you have kids, think of your kids being bullied at school, how do you think they feel? If you were bullied at school, think of how you felt. And if you were a bully, think of how they felt.

Shes the only one here who gets it. Props to her.
Instead of always fighting with eachother, lets try and make dp a community that can stand out, and be an example of how games should be. Were not that big, it shouldnt be that hard. As far fetched as this sounds, It CAN be done. If you see bullying going on, say something. Hey man, thats not right. If they start to flame you, contact an admin and it should be properly taking care of. If it is an admin, contact someone with higher authority, if all else fails, go somewhere else. If everyone partipates like someone with a heart. We can make a change, for the better...
