"It takes courage". In the face of the bully, that is very difficult but necessary. It even takes courage to act ike you don't care what they're doing to you. I think I forget that at times. Thanks for the post!

Thanks for the feedback....and for pointing out the quiet heroes that stoically withstand the bullying tactics of these sick people. When I worked at that nightmare of a radio station, we had at least two people that would taunt and insult others until they would blow...even saying "stop that" would result in the owner being told that you had sworn at the bully. It wasn't until several of us started openly writing down their words and actions in front of them. Bullies hate the truth about themselves, that's why they tell so many lies about others...

I meant to say that writing and in some cases recording their statements and actions, put the brakes on them. Sorry, my coffee hasn't kicked in yet!

Oh yeah, avid reader, the bit about "the courage to act like you don't care what they're doing to you"... - you gotta believe that your blood pressure - especially since you're the Good Guy, goes up in confrontational situations with bullies (be they male or female). But you have to remember that Freedom and Peace of Mind should prevail above all else, even the possibility of losing your job. Courage defines individuality and when you compromise, that which "defines" you as being the truest and best you, blurs around the edges, and dissembles. - Hang tough! Victoria
