In todays politics, no matter how "small" the office is you are a public servant and had better get ready for scrutiny and ridicule. Your decision approval is 50/50 at best and the ones that agree will say I agree and the ones that don't will absolutely be out to destroy you. Doesn't matter the party...if you step in the kitchen be prepared for the heat and that means your entire family...they shouldn't be but they are...those are the facts.

People's children should be left alone; they are not appropriate targets.

Yeah. Okay, I'm not buying their whole "my kids aren't safe now" story. Typical leftist thing to say.

Sgt (Join to see) Enduring unnecessary harm is unhealthy. Would you stay in the octagon with Chick Liddell if the door was open?

I never said I was being bullied. I said the KID was being bullied, or at least being set up for bullying. And I said you were acting like a bully.

And of course, your response to being called out is to tell me to toughen up. As I said, I am plenty tough. You ain't gonna hurt my feelings. That doesn't mean your POV or words are appropriate.

I bet if someone told you that someone had out a hit out on you, you wouldn't be responding "not buying it," you would be taking active steps to protect yourself. And no, that is not me making a threat, it is me making a comparison.

You have the luxury of "not buying it" because it isn't you or your family.

SFC Casey O'Mally - Being set up to being bullied? The only evidence of that is, again, you gotta read the article, she said she heard from someone who heard from someone else. Not too convincing, here.
Disagreeing with the snowflakes and presenting a different opinion is what you call bullying, huh? Appropriate? All that is a matter of opinion, hoss.
Um, I've been green-lit before. More than once as a matter of fact. That still doesn't change my mind from my initial comment. And I always take steps to protect my family since I'm the father and that's what fathers are supposed to do. What I don't do is hide from threats, nor have I taught my kids to hide from threats. And they're much better off because of it.
And I have the luxury of not buying it because the article puts nothing forward other than what this woman says.

Sgt (Join to see) - IT is not the difference of opinion that is bullying. It is the dismissal of other's opinion, the consistent name-calling, and the consistent belittling.

And, of course, your response to just have thicker skin. Which is a defense of bullies the world over. The "the only reason I hurt you is because you aren't tough enough to take it" defense.

Even the use of the word "snowflake" in anything other than a meteorological sense is an indicator of a high likelihood of either a bully or someone who supports them, because the entire concept is that the person is too fragile to handle being bullied.

So even if you heard from someone who heard from someone else, you'd take active steps to protect your family, right? And this mother does the same thing, but you criticize her because she didn't hear it DIRECT? Parents protect their kids. That, really, is the end of the story.

SFC Casey O'Mally - Ok, so dismissing someone's opinion as dumb is bullying? Please explain that one.
Hear me! Hear my truth! You must listen my monotonous rambling and internalize my delicate sensibility! If you don't, then you're being a bully! That is the mantra of snowflakes the world over. And your continued insistence that it's bullying shows that you are indeed too fragile to handle discussions with people who might state they don't care about your opinions. You try the lame lines of "you're bullying me and say you're only doing it because I can't take it" when it's actually that no one is being bullied. Weakness breeds contempt, hoss. When you teach a child to run at the first sign of adversity and hostility, you're teaching him that quitting and running is acceptable way to confront the harsh realities of life. You can do that to your kids, mine? They're stronger than that.
Again, and read this slow so you get what I'm saying....
There is nothing in the article that says her kids were threatened in any way. She says she can't trust her kids being at the bus stop because other parents might hurt them? Why? She said nothing that indicated that any parent, ANY parent, had threatened her kids in any way shape or form. She just thinks they're unsafe.
And I didn't criticize her. I simply stated I wasn't buying it.
And if you think that is bullying, I don't particularly care.
