About that bully post - get it? Bully-post?
.
Anyway, that post really got to some people, didn't it. Not a question.
.
However, the comments and reactions are amazing. I am always, continually, repeatedly, incessantly surprised at how little we all know ourselves. Astonished really - how we even know our own names is incredible.

We are all bullies - well most of us are - at one time or another. We all bully and badger and taunt our neighbors every day as we insist on our own way or try to persuade those who disagree with us that we are right and they are wrong. As bloggers we rant about our favorite issues all of the time - the blog can become a bully pulpit. I can name several bloggers who taunt and sling barbs nearly every day. Comboxes are the worst on many blogs. Of course we all object, "I'm not being a bully!" And then turn around and bash some politician we don't like, or some bishop or priest we think is unorthodox, or some guy we think is an X-man. Think about it - it's a bar fight most of the time.
.
Yes, yes - it's all right though - because we say we're praying for the other, or we are evangelizing. Not every one is like that of course - not the really good bloggers - just the mean ones.
