My Daughter Bit a Kid's face at Pre-School--What would your favorite philosopher think of this? - Page 4

Are you sure that its more about some being supersensitive (and some are indeed that surely) and not about some being rather obnoxious, condescending sociopaths typically only after irritating the "sensitive" ones?

Yes.

I will admit that I sometimes push your buttons because I find they're easy for me to push. I enjoy challenging people's ideas, and that just happens to be one of your buttons.

Now, can you admit that you're extremely sensitive when your ideas are being challenged? Are you able to talk about yourself directly (and not indirectly as in your parenthetical statement) to address the reality of your posting? And can you do it in a concise manner?

I'm glad to see some of the bias directed towards sensitive dispositions is out in the open and ripe for challenge.

It's not clear that the incident you described in the OP even qualifies as bullying.

There is no legal definition of bullying. However, it’s usually defined as behaviour that is:
- repeated
- intended to hurt someone either physically or emotionally
- often aimed at certain groups, e.g. because of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation

You subsequently clarified that you are seeking advice as to how to deal with bullying in general, throughout life. Do you accept the above as a definition, or do you have a different concept of what bullying is?
