B is obviously a troll, and I bet (s)he's having fun messing with the poor guy.
OP's friend could have at least trolled back that B "girl" instead of becoming a troll victim... And it's too bad that OP's friend revealed his own personal details and stuff online. Now he's going to learn the hard way that being anonymous is the most important thing when surfing the Internet.

Bullies are coming from a position of a subordinate; they cannot do anything outright, because the people who are more powerful than they are would squash them. If you just bully them back, you are acting as powerless as they are. However, if you demonstrate that you are dominant, and can crush them with a single display of power with no repercussions, they will back off. Not saying it's the "right" way to deal with it. Actually, it's kind of a nasty approach to things, I suppose. It is, however, quite effective when done right. |

Those bullies are idiotic enough to use obvious language.
What if they are cunning enough to avoid threatening language and use a fake name? Or if they live in a different country? What if the police isn't an option? I personally would like to "crush them with a single display of power", but how?

Fake names are child's play. Any method they use to contact you can be traced to at least the general area of origin (heck, if they send an email, you can have their home address in a matter of minutes). And I'm just gonna be overly honest here, and say that if they live in another country and somehow have a way to really mess with you, it's because you did something stupid. You posted personal information in a public manner, entered you credit card info in a fake paypal page, etc. You're only as open as you leave yourself. But seriously, from the description of the "bullying" being described so far, I can't say it sounds that bad. It sounds like it's just social stuff. I mean, seriously, someone is posting stuff on Facebook? Since when is Facebook "serious business?" Of course, my gauge of "harassment" and "bullying" might be a little different from yours. My gauge uses rules like: Is it bad enough that you would kill the person to make them stop? If "yes," then it's pretty bad. If "no," then it's obviously not that big a deal to you, because you're not prepared to do whatever it takes to make them stop. I'm not saying that you should kill them, because you obviously shouldn't. I'm just saying that if you don't go into something with absolutely all of your determination, you aren't going to accomplish anything. And to me, it doesn't sound like any of the people involved are willing to do than posture and throw paper wads at each other across the internet. |

Part of the reason why I am rejected for some jobs is that I had a record for juvenile shoplifting. Some big companies don't care even if they found out (one of my ex-managers said that we all make mistakes as kids when I had a OJT), but some are apparently more asinine to look past that, and even allow themselves to be fooled by naked short-sellers in Wall Street instead. I can come at you......ONLY if you don't do concealed carries.
