I understood exactly what you were trying to say. I was trying to point out how it happens the other way.

I was cyberbullied by people taking my IC actions to be OOC without them EVER having spoken to me OOC. I had a character who was aggressive and confrontational They decided I didn't like them OOC and I was a big meanie poo-poo head - even though we'd agreed our characters wouldn't get along in some cases. They proceeded to essentially RP-blacklist me. They tore me down FOR YEARS whenever they could find me and posted OOC information anywhere they could. Eventually, I hid myself well enough IC or they just stopped caring and it stopped. The irony of this being, they had characters who were bffs with mine IC, and they didn't even know it.

My only point is: assumptions in RP need to STOP. NEVER assume that because there is IC conflict someone's writer doesn't like you. If it's a pattern, then you should address it and has it out OOC, potentially with a moderator present. If it's all IC driven, then it isn't cyberbullying, no matter how much your feelings are being hurt. Especially if the writer doesn't know your feelings are being hurt.
