How many people have you bullied and for what reasons? I've only bullied a few times before, but that was when I was having a meltdown and the bullying didn't amount to much anyway because I expressed my emotions by glaring at people who I knew were insecure. I really regretted it so don't think I'm an ogre :cry:

I do so all the time. I find it to be fun, and I don't regret it a bit. Just paying it forward.

I think it's horrible that you'd not regret your actions, subatai_baadur. What would possess you to bully? Is it because you've been bullied, and you want to repay the favour? I say that two wrongs don't make a right.

I've never bullied anyone, although on occasion I've stood on the sideline when I could've done something about someone else being bullied. But I've stepped in sometimes too, always with disastrous results. At least I can say I made the effort.

As with others here I sometimes unintentionally intimidate people but I think the point of the poll was to see how many people intintionally try to hurt someone else.

For me thats a "never".

Considering most of us here have probably been bullied a lot in our lives, we know what its like.. why would we wish it on another even if we dont like them?

That's a great quote, did you think of it yourself?

It's a Ghandi quote, which I am sick of hearing. Tired of him considering what he did to the untouchables. I bully people because I was bullied myself, and I find it fun now. I'm not going to regret it because I consider people to deserve it if they are emotionally frail and are easy to pick on. I was and I got bullied and now I'm hardened to the world. Maybe I'm just a bastard; I'm starting to question that.

I will intimidate anyone on the slightest provocation. I have learned to do this to make life better for myself.

I will not tolerate things that trigger my As, and take the lead in stopping the irritation by force if needs be.
This is bullying due to ambient provocation, the person may not know why I am doing it but I have a good reason as far as I am concerned, This is why I am now a hermit.
I would rather keep to myself then inflict this on others.

Marcus.

I've bullied people before, but I regret it, and don't think there is any excuse for it.

Wow, it looks like you went through some hard times man, but there is no excuse for what you did to people that you bullied. They could go through life carrying the pain of your insults, which could possibly result in their suicide. I'm not trying to send you on a guilt trip, but I strongly encourage you to be kind to people who are frail and hurting inside since you were once the same way and you know how it feels to be bullied. I don't think you're a mean person because no one is born that way. Being kind to people will actually make you feel better about yourself, so stop being mean and change.

I just had a strange thought.. what if the "submissive" types you people love to bully have AS as well? What if the person who likes to bully you has it and is taking out their revenge on you when your in the same boat?

I don't bully. I might become snappish, especially on the Net, but I don't try to intimidate people.
