Am I a Bully? — Page 21

No, not a bully.

But I would say that Frink has been pushing people’s buttons. It might be nice if he backed off of that a bit.

Oh but that’s just silly old Frink!

It’s not silly old Frink when it causes one to feel bad about it, as it happened with Warbler. The Wikipedia article on bullying says that there’s an imbalance of power a lot of the time with bullying. I think here people do think Frink is a level above them in clout. He’s a person that lot of people like or look up to. Warbler’s said he’s been bullied a lot in the past, that’s probably why he had such a bad reaction.

I like him because I look down on him.

I was being sarcastic.

Recently, there was a patient on my psychiatric floor at the hospital. He was committed for involuntary treatment, but he didn’t actually have a psychiatric disorder. He was a criminal. He would knock over tables and threaten injury to others so he could get arrested and get out, but never actually injured someone. He showed the kind of self-control that indicated he was a man who knew right where the limit was to avoid serious criminal charges or end up in restraints. He pushed the limits right up to the point where he felt we might intervene in a drastic way, but stopped short of crossing the most serious lines.

Not at all saying Frink is equivalent to this guy, but he kind of does the same thing on a smaller scale. He pushes the limits of the rules right up to the point that he could almost receive moderator action, but he never quite crosses that line.

I hate to say that because I genuinely like Frink, but there’s truth to it. He’s a genuinely nice guy, but if he disagrees with something, he will push and push, and if you get offended, that’s your problem. However, if you’ve offended him, even unintentionally, that’s still your problem. I feel he really needs to learn to back off a bit and let others disagree it have their way without making life needlessly difficult for them.

I honestly don’t understand why warb got so upset. I’d imagine Frink feels the same way.

So I guess, accidental bully?

The thing is that if Frink had any sense, he would have stopped it a lot earlier. And he does have a history of considering his opinion better than others. I already have extensively argued with him once when he thought his opinion on ROTS was objectively more correct than someone else.

The point should be that if whatever you did/said made someone upset you literally shouldn’t be doing it, and should stop and apologize. I haven’t been around long enough to really know Frink as well as you guys know him, so I’ll simply be quiet in his particular case.

In this case perhaps, but I’ve honestly felt he’s been that way a lot more for the past few months.

I’m not going to lie, I’m enjoying all the attention. It’s really why I bully people in the first place.

Adding this bit to the psychological examination sheet that’s shared with everybody but you.

I don’t have access to the sheet in question. Can that be considered bullying?

We have a screening process for our table, thank you very much.

Yeah, I was cut out very early in the screening process. It’s very thorough.
