@GSpellchecker would it? In my experience "ignoring" bullies just lets a problem grow until it can't be ignored due to tragedy

I've been ignoring Breitbart for years. Turns out that didn't stop it growing in popularity and influence

That popularity would indicate ppl not ignoring them but this is a different issue.

"turning the other cheek" works fine when the aggressor really doesn't have power. Online trolls do

But they wouldn't if everyone ignored online trolls. Which was my (unrealistic) imagining.

it is unrealistic, that's my point. It's an arg based on assumption that the abused are responsible for the abuse

I don't know how you got to that assumption! Talking abt what would make trolling less appealing.

the arg is that if the abused ignored the abuse, the abuse would go away. Responsibility is with the abused, no?

Responsibility for the abuse remains with the abuser. The power to stop it could well be with the abused.

My 12 year old has just figured out the power of ignoring other children trying to get a reaction.

And I find this online. If you ignore ppl trying to get a reaction, they go away coz they get bored.

with respect, this depends entirely on the type of bullying. Assuming it applies across board is simplistic
