A Common Enemy

While it may seem like a lot of drama, it's an extremely serious issue that has led to death or worse in some cases. I'm not interested in "giving" attention.

Who has died?

I don't think this has much to do with TOTJO, though.

It actually has much more to do with IJRS, where Tess is a student. She, being a full member of the site, requires the response from our administration.

TOTJO could step in if it likes, but Tess is not tied to this site at all. Just as a guest.

I'm talking about cyber bullying. Many have died from it.

I'm glad no one died. I didn't think we had a cyber bulling problem here.

So this is a problem at IJRS. Are they doing anything about it over there?

We're talking about the video that was posted. did you see it? This X character was giving out threats.

(EDIT: I took out information here. sorry)

I was responding to this.

Is she OK?

This mention of death or worse is concerning.

<shakes head>

I just don't get how anyone can let cyber bullying get them to the point of even considering suicide....it's just words on a screen typed up by someone feeling pathetic about themselves and wishing to make others feel worse....

Maybe it's because of everything I went through as a kid, but I have difficulty comprehending the weakness of anyone that gives in to bullies...bullies are cowards that's why they target those they deem weaker then themselves, that's why they hide behind masks, screens, etc...any coward that attacks while hiding isn't worth a second thought....

As with any person who comes to the IJRS site and asks about their courses, Tess was invited to complete their Introductory package. As yet, she has not posted her responses to that package and... as such, has not been flagged to review / take any of the other courses available. So, saying she is a 'full member ' is a bit of a mis-statement. She is like any other person who comes and inquires at the IJRS a 'guest' who, if they wish to proceed, must go through the routine; do the packages and then request courses. Then, she would be a 'student'.

Perhaps that equates to 'full member' here at the TOTJO?

All that said, it is the person in the video which should be of concern should it not? Or is this personal flame war between the Darth Wannabe and Tai Da all played out now?

Kol, that's not really for you to decide... not being on the faculty.

We see Tess as a student of the Institute.

To answer your question, we're not sure because somebody messed with X's computers. He has not had any activity online at all in the past few days.
