The term “bully” is now meant to deride conservatives with manly traits. I was “bullied”, it toughened me up, I owe those guys a debt.
Hmm. Second or third grade some clown was bullying me until I kicked his butt (realtive to the age bracket) and from then on he followed me around like a whipped pup. Had a similar incident in HS when the bully surrounded by his minions tried to pick a fight with me in the hallway. I dropped my books and got in his face and challenged him to meet me in front of the gym after school without his minions. No show. And, I’m a wuss actually and try to steer clear of confrontations. :>}
