Just wondering what is your definition of this and how do you deal with it? I haven't experienced this in real life however I see examples of this online and thought it would be interesting to discuss.
My first inclination is to ignore and not respond. Always a hard one (for me) to stand by however.
When I see someone else being bullied it is harder to remain quiet.
I have also noticed bullies tend to find each other.
Not trying to start a fight and genuinely interested in what you consider bullying and how you handle it. We have had threads discussing bullying of children but I couldn't find one discussing adult bullying.
Let me be clear. I don't consider disagreeing with each other or stating facts and thoughts and debating ideas to be bullying. However I think when one is being bullied they usually know it. I always invite a healthy debate but one that becomes a constant pummeling can feel quite punishing and I wonder where do you think it crosses the line...
