Today I encountered a bully. (Not just one, but the thread with this person escalated.) I was thought to be polite and quiet, and, honestly, I find kindness to be a virtue. I always tend to have self control. This person was particularly mean, and after an insult, I replied back with another juicier insult. I don't insult people, so this is new for me. I don't feel good or bad. I feel strange. But I feel is was necessary. I'm NEVER going to be pro-bullying. Kindness doesn't help here.
