I will say you did the right thing to speak your mind....and I hope all will do that.

And bulling shall we always hit on...Why?

Because that is the only way we are able to change thing.....the only way we can protect those who are weaker then our self.

The most important lesson for us all...in my opinion...is that none of us own the truth.

If we can agree on that, then by speaking, we get our thoughts evaluated, and we might even get new ways to see things, because they are brought out in the open for all to see.

We must never be afraid to make a fool of our self  (done that many times ) because the "greatest fool" is the one who run away, because you will always run into people who don't agree with you, and the more one run, the more insecure one become.

We can never expect a forum to contain people with equals opinions, (it would have been a dull place ) but we must expect that we can show respect for each other!

Good luck with your class....you have got an excellent teacher there

After reading my post again, the above need a clarification.

People who bully are seldom open for reason from a fellow member.
Any approach to them will fast lead to a quarrel, and quarrels attract others who like such kind of action.

This is why we always want our members to make a complain to the administration, this way we can handle it, and take off the heat from those who suffer under it.

I agree that our own feelings many times "demand" us to give a warning before we go to the administration and complain, and I have nothing against that, as long as one don't start quarrels, because then everything start to be complicated, and both part become more and more equal guilty.
