I didn't say you did. Just trying to articulate my position re: bullying- since you brought it up. I assumed maybe you did not understand it. I don't find politics to be very easily fit in to bullying, because so much of politics is aggressive group oriented activity, and depends on people voicing their opinions loudly, and often negatively- and those who join in, know that. It's not like pursuing one victim who doesn't want to be a victim. It's more like going after the guy in a game with the ball- he chose to pick up the ball. In bullying (real bullying) the victim often does everything he or she can to go unnoticed. That's a material difference for me. Obviously you see similarities between the two things that are not that relevant to me.
