Posted by Joe on December 8, 2002, 7:43 pm A bully is a craven coward who preys on the weak. A person who brags about bullying may have already have destroyed a lot of human potential. I believe there comes a time to make war. It is unrealistic to believe that a bully will respond to kindness. And was I playing "by his rules?" I was playing by the rules of war. He had no right to come in here and brag about bullying or treat the subject as if it were humorous. He is a sad little wretch who is probably even more deficient in courage than in intellect. And you would be hard pressed to convince me that, deep down, if you have in fact been bullied yourself, you do not EVER believe a good ass-kicking is just what this little shit and those of his ilk really need. Come on! Never?! Not even for a moment? That said, I do believe you are doing a good thing here, and if you prefer I not respond the way I did to stupidity, I will stop.

Thanks for your comments. However, I really wouldn't say I was upset with him. And I don't know that I "attacked" him. I truly believe that school bullies are often morons who ruin people's lives. I think a bully needs to know that he is pathetic, not powerful.

: Hi Joe!! 
: Of course... you have the 'right' to say
: whatever you want to say [and I'd never
: take that from you] BUT I think it's a
: mistake [if I may say so] to play the same
: 'game' [so-to-speak] as someone you are
: upset with. In other words - bullying the
: bully doesn't make you any better than the
: bully. In fact - it makes YOU a bully -
: TOO.*
: I believe that [more often than not] the best
: way to fight 'fire' is NOT with 'fire' -
: but with 'water'. As you may have noticed
: [having read some of my messages] I rarely
: attack someone - even IF they have
: attacked ME. People who attack or threaten
: or otherwise say something that is 'not so
: nice' are ready to be attacked - BACK.
: Their defenses are in place. Knowing that
: - I try to get MY message through to them
: [whoever that may be] by finding a 'way'
: TO them that they did NOT expect.
: I fully appreciate how you feel and don't
: blame you for saying what you said... but
: what you did was play HIS 'game' using HIS
: 'rules'.
: To SEE our 'enemy' - we have to back away
: from them a bit. If we don't.... we run
: the risk of being consumed by them.
: [emotionally and otherwise]
: I hope I'm making sense.
: GREAT BIG HUG
: Craig!!
: *I'm referring specifically to verbal
: bullies. Someone who physically attacks
: someone DOES deserve to be attacked -
: BACK. [we all have the 'right' to defend
: ourselves - of course]
