Cyber bullying

Is it better to call that person out on the site they do it on, or to ignore it? I blocked this person before, so can't report them unless I unblock them (opening me up to more abuse).
I thought I was too old to let this sort of thing get to me ... and it is.
 
I don't have any experience being cyber bullied, but I would just keep the person blocked and ignore any attempt to contact you.

report it to the moderators by sending them a individual private message [assuming you can do that on the forum your on] and dont message the bully back! let the moderators sort out the person for you.

your never to old to get affected by cyber bullying,look whats happening to katie price at the moment,some awful wastes of space are bullying through her twitter account-attacking her severely autistic and visually impaired son because he is disabled,shes having to see this sick stuff,it must affect her mental health, im not a fan of her but she and certainly harvey does not deserve that crap.

and i can tell you,i was sectioned 4 years ago in a intellectual disability hospital for four months and lost my home because of being long term cyber bullied on autism and disability forums by the same person,he stalked me and copied my blog using my experiences of severe classic autism as his own to 'groom' me and to get attention and pity from other people,he then attacked me saying i was a burden to society and should kill myself, i was non verbal and unable to speak out to my family or support staff about the bullying so i attempted to kill myself multiple times which is luckily quite hard in a secure residential home.

i developed paranoid pyschosis and destroyed my bedroom,thought support staff and service users were trying to kill me so i tried to attack them first,i smashed my bedroom and tripple glazed window up and ended up being physically held down for twenty hours by a pile of police-both at my home and in hospital because they couldnt find a place straight away in the intellectual disability hospital-so i am now severely physically disabled from the restraint destroying nerves in my spine and put on a ton of weight from all the anti pyschotics needed for my excess challenging behavior and pyschosis,all thanks to this waste of life scumbag.

if you dont get anywhere with moderators, you should speak to the local police about it,as you are classed as vulnerable and if any of the bullying is aimed at your disability/ies that makes it an even bigger crime.
i found this out to late but i wish you the best with sorting out the awful individual who is bullying you.

Report it to site administration or moderators. Especially if this happens here. Abuse, bullying and harassment are all unacceptable

Can you report it to local police under terms of harassment or stalking? Can you find someone who will "discuss" the situation with the offender? Perhaps to dispense some instant karma?

I agree. The problem is we know this person in real life - and having this person lose their 'platform' could make the real life encounters worse.
i am sorry for anyone else who has been this - the fact is I am not alone with it, because there are two of us (both aspies) who are target to this and we are able to offer some support to each other.

i think you should go speak to the local police anna,honestly they will be able to speak to him and warn him off you,you can even get an injuction to stop him coming near you,once he knows youve got police backup/involvement he should hopefully calm down.

I would contact the police too. I notice your location is the Welsh Borders. Here in South Wales, the police have a new scheme called Keep Safe Cymru and are trying to do more to help people with learning disabilities, mental health issues or dementia. This includes people on the spectrum. I'm not sure which police force covers your area, but maybe it would be worth seeing if they have a similar scheme, as they might be able to help you with this problem even more.
