You conflate "bullying" with "lobbying".

Certainly you'll not be able to document instances of my bullying you.

That's because what Bwuthie gets is purely retaliatory.

You otoh don't trade in personal snark at all.

Iow, he initiated, I responded.

Same for Sqwerty, who is 100% responsible for poor Omelet's departure
from this group.

Your hands are clean of any ongoing personal pogroms here, even with
vinegar tits, who has always treated you with acid.

But when you play nice with a bully they treat it as a welcome mat for
further campaigns of snark and spite.

Call it a law of unintended consequences if you please.

But once alerted (several times) to the results you have to take some
measure of accountability for your turning away from the damages.
