<p>"…an excellent example of bullying", TP?! Well, thank you very much, I always try to excell in all my contributions to this esteemed forum. But, the truth is that mine was a far cry from bullying. Anyone can probably see that it was meant as a little gentle ribbing, but then some of us have thinner skins…</p>
<p>To me bullying would be a threat of physical – yes, physical – harm, whether it be explicit or implied. This talk of mental/emotional bullying is really quite laughable when one considers the endless amount of assaults on one’s mental/emotional faculties which must be endured on a daily basis from all manner of people – and one gives as good as one gets, if he is to avoid a total breakdown.</p>
<p>Suck it up TP. — now, was there any threat in that? A challenge, yes, a threat? – no.</p>
