Am I a bully?

[Josquius]

You're not a bully but you make me cry anyway.

[Richard Hakluyt]

How would we know?

It's a pretty level playing field here in Languish, so the scope for what I would consider to be bullying is very limited.

Your office is different of course. If it is the tea-ladies and the receptionists who were crying then that would be bullying.

Well?

No, gays get bullied, they can't be bullies; just like blacks can't be racist.

Why can't blacks be racist again?  I keep forgetting.

I don't doubt that you'd misuse anyone who you were placed in authority over or had leverage on, but 'bully' is the wrong word.

[crazy canuck]

No. you may try to be a bully, but aren't very good at it.

Yeah, I can imagine his coworkers taking a dim view of him but not for the reason he thinks.

I think the proper workplace parlance is "asshole".

[Ed Anger]

I'd call for a pile on but I think he'd enjoy it.

I assume you're pointing out the double standard, but it's true that the necessary compliment to a bully is a victim who whines about it.  Without the whining victim the bully is just another asshole.

Now if he was made a moderator...

As the "CdM bully" thread is proving; Seedy is, at least, not just another asshole.

Well?

No misguided.
