I first got bullied when me & me mum rip moved from a County (happy times) to London. I went from a Grammer school to a Primary School & got bullied for being clever but i dealt with it, never told me mum and survived. My mum never told me what to do as a kid, apart from when she told me not to go into the Three Kings Pond as there was a Pike in it.Of course as soon as i got a pair of long trousers / jeans i wadded through the pond & never saw a Pike. she just let me get on with things and learn from my mistakes up to the age of 17 when i left home.
I joined sky poker 8th june 2009 & got involed with this community 20th june 2009, i started FORUM DTD 9th dec. 2010, i then started a FB Group "FORUM DTD, then i started another FB Group pokerstars FORUM DTD Home Games. i have had loads of hassle with both groups which i don't need i just wanna play poker, have fun, meet new people that are like me, form solid friendships. For the last 4 years i've been sussing out who's my kind of person & who's a Bully. Yesterday me & me mate set up a FB Group as all the bullies have been identified and are now isolated.
It's Like being back at School again.Except its ONLINE BULLIES VERSES THE REST OF US.
This best sums up the last 5 YEARS for me Nursery School, This Community Head Master TIKAY - this is how we first meet (online) then we go to a Live Events and meet each other in Real Life for the first time. Primary School, Forum DTD Group - Stars DTD Group & FOSP Group - these are 3 online communities that came from the Nursery School. Grammer & Comprehensive Schools, - this is where i am now at (Grammer School) my new FB Group is called FORUM DTD LIVE WEEKENDS for all of us that go through TIKAYS Nursery School, to meet up at a casino & have a cracking weekend..
Myself & Duncan (benalman) run the door as we have no admins in this Group.We will be having another doormen soon then thats it no more. A man that i respect more than anyone left Facebook because of ONLINE BULLIES so sad so the new group is for him, FORUM DTD came from him & me & in the Real World i am proud to know him by his name TONY KENDALL because tikay is just an Avatar.
Facebook is just a form of media like a newspaper i have no time for bullies either in real life or online i just don't bother with them. I have seen first hand what the online bully is capable of. so i decided to do something about it I re added some to one of my fb groups cause there's a saying " KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE, BUT KEEP YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER well i've been doing that over the last 4 years since when i started FORUM DTD which is now established on Sky Poker.
Yesterday was a turning point in my life, the bullies are out of my life its like a massive weight has been lifted. If any of this Great Community are having problems with online bullies there are loads here & in FORUM DTD LIVE WEEKENDS FB Group that will help you through it so u are not alone.
My Mentor & Friend is & always will be Mr Tony "tikay Kendall so enjoy going through his Nursery School cause i know i have. btw TIKAY i have recently seen scouse red (chris) we had a good long chat and are now back as bro's as we were b4 i joined sky poker so good times ahead.
For me now there are 3 Poker Communities full of good people

“What a desperate, pathetic fool I was. Time after time, my "friends" had shown me their true colors. Yet, I still wanted to believe they were sorry for causing me pain."
Sometimes it takes days, sometimes it takes years but here is a quote that is apt.
"You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles."

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same:. If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much: If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my Son!

Block whoever you need to on whichever sites and live a nice quiet life. I do!

Suddenly, you feel better!
IF...
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my Son!
