What is bullying? Are you a bully?

[Eldritch]

Yes but if you're the subversive voice of cruelty calling for good decorum here, but then let's say that somewhere else in your life you have a raging hardon for absolutely grotesque decorum from some of the loudest voices possible from the majority, then you'd just be a hypocritical pos liar trying to make unfettered room to poison people here with your social cancer. You'd be like a villain hiding behind a superhero mask, cowardly so.

There are a number of logical flaws with your statement, one of the more obvious being the implication that cruelty and good decorum cannot operate hand in hand.

They most certainly can. One of the more common fallacies in this type of argument, is the mistake in thinking that morality is universal, and not subjective to the individual or the group.

The Carthaginians, for example, thought it well and moral to sacrifice their children to Bhaal in times of great need. Similarly, the Aztec would line up captured enemies by the tens of thousands and sacrifice them to Huitzilopochtli.

They were not immoral at their moment in time, although people in different communities at the time would be horrified and disagree fiercely due to their system pacing a higher value on Human Life as a product to be preserved. Neither group is correct, as these are fundamentally matters of opinion, not fact.

Similarly, you make another claim of hypocrisy without defining the conflict. The base failure in your logic model is that you assume a universal set of values, one which is clearly defined that most people subscribe to, when both locally and globally, that is not the case.

A futile attempt with predictably poor outcome doesn’t change the intent

I mean, so you feel like, yes, the outcome is irrelevant and Dickhead bullied Mike Tyson? What a bizarre take on matters. Very well.

Seems appropriate here

The Great Ruse: The comedic genius who rocked wrestling​

this is the story of Andy Kaufman taking on wrestling.

The way the pencil-necked geek pranced around the ring with his chest swelled, the way he scratched his armpits like a monkey – well, by God, the arrogant som’bitch needed a whooping.

Oh dear, more pedantic than you can accommodate, I see. No concern. It is not uncommon.

 

[Melissa]

all I know is that I am not a bully.

 

[BillSmith]

Bill is not a bully
But he was
When bullies attacked
Billy got them back
No matter physical contest
or verbal vitriol
Every bully encountered
Was exacted a toll
A lifetime answering the call
He got them
One and all

In our daycare we have a 5 year old whose personality resembles hot honey (spiced honey is more appropriate in this case).
She has a sweet base but Lord help the kid who grabs her toy. The turn is instant.

Is she an only child or just a kid who turns into the Incredible Hulk when angered?

It might be a developed response if she has an older sibling who keeps taking her stuff at home, also.
But, you may be correct about being an only child, as well.

I'm an only child and kind of a jerk because of it.
