How do you deal with a bully?

@TessDun your right about that, MOST,
Most people don't have the ability to think anyway
The dangerous one who do think and goes on to pick on gentle vulnerable people

@antonioioio How to get even with them?

@TessDun they to know that you can't be bullied anymore

@TessDun temptation exists for many things, but when we know what we should do and don't do it, we do wrong

I find that bullies are usually foolish misled people; they won't give in easily unless they feel they are overpowered by someone but if you can get them to back down they're more likely to listen than one might expect, and you might even change their life and the lives of their would-be victims

@th3r0n There is this bully at work. I told the mentors and superiors about her actions. One senior colleague emailed the superiors and clients about her technical erros at work, in response also to her bad attitude. Now she is so timid, and depressed to a point that she asked for the help of HR to reprimand the senior who exposed her. Almost all superiors are not on her side. Bullies should be shamed, that is the only way they can be tamed.

@TessDun sometimes they're willing to back down and see another way

If they think they can still get the upper hand, sometimes their stubbornness isn't broken yet

Think of it as dealing with a misbehaved kid that grew up and never learned to treat people right

@SW-User But if one will not react they might think what they do is okay

@TessDun They will know it's not, when they push me too far. I don't usually stoop to pettiness until I have to.

@TexChik Yes,, they deserve same or more pain than what they inflict

An adult bullying an adult@Queendragonfly

@TessDun I'd tell them they act small minded and their insecure behaviour is petty.
