Show of Hands - Is MM a Bully?

I've heard the accusations over and over again. I'm a bully. I'm mean. Etc. Blah.

I personally don't understand how standing up for myself, having an opinion, and not being afraid to voice it is being a bully.

But I'm curious: how many people think I am one?

It sure will be a reversal in my live, considering every bully in a 20 mile radius knew and bothered me most of my life.

Is having an intellect being a bully? Is having an opinion being a bully? What does "bully" mean to you?

Curious. That's me.

YES OH YES... YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSSSS!!

Your a huge bag, no, over inflated bag of hot air who verbally abuses everyone of us poor unedumacated, underfunded, short, fat, tall, skinny, black, white, yellow, green and blue people.

You chase and hunt down people that you don't like, like a rabid hunting animal type thing.

And don't even get me started on the relgious type stuff... OMFreakingG!!

It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

Carry on the good work.

naughtzee!

Gah I think my fangs are showing.

Watch out or I shall eat your brains. What's left of them anyway ...

Hmmmmmmm................
There's a difference between being strong, and being a bully.
Are you opinionated? Yes indeed.
But that's why I loves ya!

No, you are just frank with your opinions. That's a good thing in my book.

Although I have not seen you in action in the religious forums..as that is not my thing...MM I have not seen you to be a bully at all.Intelligent yes, informed yes, perhaps opinionated yes..but in a good DENYING IGNORANCE way. You also have a great sense of humour that I have never seen in a real bully.


You know MM..sticks and stones and all that...Just keep being what you are and who you are..thats the way we all like you!

You're On My Friends List

I hope you haven't been running around causing trouble behind my back.

I know that I've tossed you a few stars for work well done.

Nice bait - but I'm not touching this one...

Demure you're not. Diplomatic? Uh... no.

A Bully-istris perhaps. A Calf-gaffe. A Bolstein-Holstein. A Chamfer-Heifer...

Oh -we know you mean well, you just have strong opinions. Perhaps you're just a bit frustrated in expressing yourself. We all are.

Actually, I find it refreshing that we have folks like you to step in and handle the idiotic among us with such finesse and dispatch! I can't do it. At least not as consistently and as eloquently as you, my dear...

Carry ON!

I knew there was a reason I loved this place! People like you guys.

Having a rough day, you've lifted my spirits.

Cheers and thanks.

The thing I have most loved, put all my efforts into making it better, and going out on a leap of faith to make it even more, is because of ALL the members here at ATS. Our community is a diverse mixture of races, religions, opinions and politics. Imagine HOW BORING this place would be unless EVERYONE was exactly the way we are.

Seems to me that you're liked and respected by a lot of members.

I was going to say "YES!" etc without a second thought, but then I realized it was about Major Malfunction and not Mirthful Me.

No, your not a bully, your down to earth.

Not in my book MM. Heck! you are almost a household name here.
Cheers
jon

I mean...no...no...you're very nice

Again, thanks y'all.

I have a child support hearing in just over an hour. I guess my shameless trolling for a boost to my ego worked.

This is the best community on the internet, by far!

MM has always been very helpful to me and always has good advice when i make a thread seeking some. shes also one of my favorite posters here

as a matter of fact, i was one of MM's first friends on my other user name

only thing i notice is she comes off sort of umm.. brash? does that even mean what i'm thinking of? well anyways, kind of.. uhh straightforward i guess you could say, she has strong opinions and isn't afraid to stand by them and let people know

Brash? Is this an attempt at diplomacy?

I see what you mean, but I don't believe in pussyfooting around. If I beat around the bush as much as some people want me to, I'd post these long, meandering pointless things and forget what I wanted to say in the first place.

yea theres nothing wrong with that though, under certain circumstances i wish i could be more like that

–adjective
1. impertinent; impudent; tactless: a brash young MM.
