i mean teeling someone to **** *** **** ** is not something a freind dose.

's.tfu' is an acronym I use quite readily on the internet. I don't find it offensive and neither would Derek. I would never use it towards someone on CGR, though I have wanted to in the case of one poster I refrained.

My attitude towards swearing mostly has to do with the context in which it is done, but that is a matter for theology.

If a friend can't speak plainly to a friend, then they're not friends. I think you are reacting to the word he used. Not the spirit it was spoken.

Really, Bobbi summed up what I would have said.

Ryan, I think you made the right choice here. I've been in a similar situation recently where I was the target of a cyberbullying incident. There were about four or five kids at school targeting me over something they really shouldn't have, but around 20 or 30 other friends, some of which I'm not very close to at all, came to back me up.

I also agree with bread man; I don't really think the message was necessary, but there is one thing you can learn from this. When you're going through trouble in life, you realize who your real friends are; they're the ones who will support you no matter what's bringing you down.

This is completely true.

I see no further reason for this thread to continue. Thanks all.
