[QUOTE="Rich Taff, post: 790115, member: 68394"] I hate bullying. (as, hopefully, people have noticed) I was bullied in school. Mainly because I was a grade A student, but also played in every 1st team the school had, until I trapped a nerve under my kneecap, which resulted in my knee rotting beneath it and me looking like someone who 'forgot leg day' for about 4 years. When I hit 6th form/year 12/17yrs old the damage repaired itself enough that I could work out, and I also grew 6" (20cm) in 2 yrs, so it has always been amusing meeting people who were ****s to me, then didn't go on to 6th form and only met me afterwards (twice their size, several inches taller now). I think that's why I sometimes/often step in (especially on here), where I can see bullying starting, without the antagonists actually seeing what they're doing. I admit I sometimes get it wrong, but I like to think that 9 times out of 10, my stepping in stops things escalating. One thing I used to say (in private) when I was teaching, to the 'nerds'(who I readily admit to being one of), is 'they're bullying you now, but they'll be serving you burgers in 3 years time'.
