Several people practice it here quite often...maybe they were bullied when they were younger, and the internet is a "safe" way  of getting back (without face to face confrontation)

99 Percent of GNI members use a false name.

Calling people false names differs from using false name to mask identity.

I think some people do it to make themselves feel superior

Not if you have a derogatory false name...like buggahman, larwah, etc.

By calling someone buggaman etc, your objective is to make that person feel like crap and belittle them

Ha Ha !!!

A lot of people in Guyana had false name. If you fall down, they would find a false name for you.

So what happens if this buggahman is a bully and he can rearrange your face with a slap of the back side of his hand? Would you feel superior in belittling him? I bet not.

Like I said...lots of people would not do this to someone in person...they do it online so the other person cannot rearrange their face

they also used to beat kids in school (and some still do) in Guyana...does not make it right

Likewise, Jagdeo would use labels to ridicule those who oppose him.

Very often when one turns to the need to labeling another poster or posters, it more often typically emerges from their own insecurity, despair about a  situation or a perceived threat. 

I am no angel. Please don't label me as such.

Beating kids is another story and that is not acceptable. Please do not mix up the topics for discussion.

not mixing topics...just giving an example of things that happened in Guyana were not necessarily good (as you suggested with regard to false names)

Are the teachers bullies then? If they are, who should stop them? They do that because they have been given permission to so and have control over a child. I think this is different from calling a person a derogatory name. I know of many teachers who were given derogatory names, but you dare not whisper that name to them.

Labeling is done to antagonize and to get the labeled poster banned when that poster responds. 

Many teachers were bullies....and laws properly enforced should stop them

Every politician does that. The PNC/APNU is not immune from this. Our famous president, "The Donald",  had a false name for almost every one of his opponents.

If one politician calls another a crook, and there was proof that the politician is a crook, then that would not be labelling...just facts

What Donald does is pure bullying

Yes they are bullies. They take out their frustrations and other emotional strains in the personal lives at home on the little defenceless kids.

Then the AFC/PNC did a lot of bullying about the PPP because three years later they cannot even prove shyte.

False name calling should be banned. Lilmohan is the prime culprit here. He now act like an angel but in the past he was very wicked.  Appropriate adjectives on the other hand is a different story.

who will judge what is appropriate or not?

Labelling, bullying, and false name are differing but fall under the subject of sociology.

Labelling = accusing someone of being a w/hore if them see you talking to a man, etc.

Bullying = taking advantage of someone to show off, etc.

False name = based on things you do, like, bubby, etc.

On a serious note, Guyana is becoming stressful on lots of people in every profession, people at home, children at school, and even the ones that drink their lives away. It's now in a survival state where people literally kill because of a simple misunderstanding. In our day we could sit and reason before picking up a cutlass on our neighbours.

The guideline is that these adjectives should not be mean spirited. For instance a certain pnc propagandist is now referred to as "dull boy" or "slow boy" which is an appropriate description considering that despite all the evidence of pnc incompetency, this person continues to spread propaganda on their behalf.

It didn't started two and a half years ago,

The reason why people behaves in such manner,due to the laws are not effective.

Django, I didn't see Prince said anything about 2.5 years ago. If the stressful conditions started before 2.5 years, it's obvious that it is getting worse today. Would you agree?

That may depend on who you talk to,

I can understand sugar workers getting stressful,not knowing what their future will be.

The brutal killing is not done by them,can you imagine a 21 yr old knocked out and burnt alive by another teenager for stealing two goats,seems like current young generation is a wayward bunch,the big question is what caused this sort of behavior,the laws have to become effective to stop this uncalled for loss of life and property.
