BlueMoonBlueEarth,

I hope you are feeling better than when you first posted and it's great that you have such an understanding and caring mother. I'm also a guy who likes MLP; it's a very lighthearted show that's rarely immature. Fluttershy is my favorite character too - she represents kindness, innocence, humility, empathy, and natural beauty. Perhaps these are the traits of people you admire? Even people who don't like MLP are very much capable of having these traits.

Internet bullies (tough guys, trolls, etc...) are people that should be ignored. Often times, these people aren't very happy themselves and only want to drag you down to their level and will argue endlessly with you. Trust me, I've gotten into numerous arguments with rude users online and things rarely end up well.

I hope you are no longer being bullied in real life. I find it difficult to reply to some people's threads as well because I want them to feel better, but can feel helpless.
