I think I understand what groiny was saying in that too much is being labelled as bullying these days and not to good effect

it's rude
it's harassing
but in and of itself, isn't bullying (IMO)

Why wouldn't it count as bullying? It's a type of abuse. -- nm - Roger More Oct 4, 11:18
yeah, to me "bullying" is when you feel threatened, for your safety. - groiny Oct 4, 11:16 13
- That definition is far too specific. - ty97 Oct 4, 11:19
- So psychologically torturing someone that results in mental anguish isn't bullying ? -- nm - decline Oct 4, 11:18 4
  - depends. - groiny Oct 4, 11:20 2
    - well, I would hate to have to draw that line. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:20 1
      - sure, it is hard to do. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:21
  - Just man up. Groiny did. -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 11:19
- I get what loosilu is going for also though. If that was printed by someone on Facebook against a kid, we'd all call it bullying without a doubt -- nm - oblique Oct 4, 11:18 5
  - and this was in print, in the yearbook. Permanent. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:19 4
    - Mind you, I doubt I'd make a beef of it 42 years later, but still. -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 11:20 3
      - the guy is dying, cut him some slack. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:20 2
        
        I'm not on his case, I'm just guessing I would let it go in his case (though I guess I can't know) -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 11:21
        
        call me an asshole, but he has other things he should be worried about IMO. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 4, 11:21
- Maybe for boys. Girls rarely threaten violence, but you would not believe how vicious they can be. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:17
that printing was far beyond rude and harassing. -- nm - loosilu Oct 4, 11:15
