Pomeranian:"Good analysis, MaryE"

Hahaha. Outstanding crotch-sniffing, little fella, she never even saw you sneaking up. Mind you, you're probably the first one to go near that particular crotch for a while, I'd say...

Benk:"Antiseptic seems more concerned with questioning the assumptions that people make about the truth. "

Bingo. It makes for interesting discussions, which seems to really bother some people.

As for "insulting others", I never initiate an attack on anyone, but I reserve the right to respond when attacked. If people don't like the way I speak to them, perhaps they could consider their own behaviour first? I make no apologies for being more creative in those responses that the ones who would take me on seem to manage. I even type one-handed, just to make it fair for them...

Fractelle:"Please edify your "interlocutors" both the context and your 'prose' for the entire post below, which I need to point out, is typical of the standard fare dished out by you since your first emanation on OLO."

erm...about a quarter to seven?

Anti:"erm...about a quarter to seven?"

Me and you seem to have similar posting times on OLO - how come you're up so early?

And for the love of god Anti - why after being called a bully does your response/attack have to be so damn visual and well - yucky?

Right I am going to get my lot up. I have a meeting later and may return in a damn foul mood.[smile]

Thanks for illustrating MaryE's point perfectly, Antiwomen. She correctly identifies your bullying behaviour and you respond with an offensive personal insult.

Is this a strategy you learnt as a young footballer? It must do wonders for you in real life.

<< I even type one-handed, just to make it fair for them... >>

No surprise that you type one-handed, but I doubt that's the reason.

CJ:"No surprise that you type one-handed, but I doubt that's the reason."

Thank goodness no one is here, I fully sucked a mouthful of coffee in to my lungs. Still coughing...

A-septic:

"I even type one-handed, just to make it fair for them..."

Har, har, har I knew it.

Funniest thing you've ever written.

I know, my post is a bit late - but that quote is priceless.

MaryE

Your summary is very apt indeed, one has only to read A-septic's opening post to this, his topic, to see the deliberate antagonism. I don't even need to suggest that you review A's posting history - thanks.

The last post by antiseptic perfectly illustrates my points about classic bullies. They see themselves as the victims, they have no respect for those they dislike, they're quite happy to personally attack and abuse when they feel victimised, and last but not least they have a compulsion for others to view them as "winners" when they bully. Just look at antiseptic's "crotch sniffing" comments and the comment about one handed typing (there's his need to win, to feel superior). Classic bullies like antiseptic are experts at either physically attacking people and/or verbally insulting people, and they have a deep seated desire that people think of them as the winner. Just like antiseptic displayed in his last post. I think classic bullies have little insight into their own behaviours and motivations, and I think this also was displayed in antiseptic's post. I feel sorry for him that he's like that as those behaviours would make his life a thousand times more difficult for him than otherwise. It's quite sad really, but I wish him well and hope that some day he finds a way towards some type of recovery.
