Fall out from TWI bullying

[waysider]

Does the wooden spoon count as bullying?

Absolutely!

But the bigger question is, in my opinion, what effect does that "wooden spoon" type bullying have on the bullying you encounter now?

How do I respond to bullying now?

I tend to b1tch sl@p bullies much faster now as opposed to putting up with their shenanigans. Pardon the french.

I thought "shenanigans" was Irish.

That's OK. I'll b1tch sl@p a leprechaun just as quickly. ;)

It was a much more complex situation with me when I was a focus of my very abusive splinter group back a few years ago.

For me any knee-jerk response on my part would have imediately cost me my family.

And it would have allowed them to portray me as the bully too, even in the eyes of the law I suppose. But one local police officer that I met said that from his perspective I was handling it all pretty well. But for me, handling it all pretty well included no kind of reprisal that they would have used against me.
