That is not something I did, and it is something I tried very much to avoid.

Ah yes, because this is a perfect example of trying to avoid provoking people into "attacking" you:

You really can't see that all those people telling me how stupid, insane, dumb, and/or evil I am over a comment to teal about what I perceive as her being off the rails might feel a bit like the entire site basically despises me?
A large number of the comments here are nothing more than people wanting simply to get another chance to say something mean to me. They have no positive or useful purpose.
Yet that is ok? That proves I'm the fellow that is messed up?

I think, Jim, that you're seeing something that really isn't there, particularly with regard to the Pig.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

OBP is weird - sometimes I can't figure out what he's saying, and he and I have had our scuffles - but I have NEVER found him to be less than forthright, and NEVER hostile just for the purpose of being hostile. I honestly think you have that one wrong.
Not to want to battle, I hereby withdraw from this conversation.

I've been the recipient of actual bullying, and mental and physical torture.What you are getting is mild push back from people you have treated like garbage. You devalue the term bullying by using it to describe what has happened here?
