@vcgriffin And since I brought it up (again), here is 2016 SXSW https://boingboing.net/2016/03/20/bruce-sterlings-sxsw-2016-cl.html

@vcgriffin Oh god, what if in Zootropolis all the zoos are filled with people?! D:
-
@vcgriffin I'm gonna sing this song ALL DAY LONG.
-
@vcgriffin Who was I talking to who was like "I've only seen the Shamalyan movie". Was it other Adam?
-
@vcgriffin OSX has it
-
@vcgriffin I had a heart attack because I wasn't sure if I'd drawn the same hand twice.
-
@vcgriffin Thanks Broseidon

-
@vcgriffin OMG yeah
-
@vcgriffin Also, I can't walk away from that appointment, for first that would look super shady ( like I have something to hide ), and because I am interested now on whether this person actually loses sleep if I say "He has made some pretty awesome minor websites, the only thing I dislike is his font and that he does not like CSS for some reason".
Also backing out of my word that I'd be there would not sit right with me personally. -
@vcgriffin Well, yeah, that sounds like him alright. But sending out your coach to talk me into sitting around a table with him kinda puts the nail to the coffin of shadyness. As such I was looking for some insight into the matter. I'll have the answer to the question "what does he want to accomplish" in like 7 hours, but in the very least I know there is nothing wrong with my moral compass.

@vcgriffin Let's just say for the sake of arguement that this person found a way out of this psychological horror onset by bullying. ( note : I personally think that this is not a good "way out" or "sollution" to the problem at all ). However the problem I am having is that I do not think anyone should ever bully someone else in any way. But now it seems that someone thinks that I am the bully to this person. From what I have gathered sofar ( and I will have that discussion in like 8 hours with him and his coach ) it is because he thinks I am spreading gossip about him. Regardless on whether this is true or not ( I personally do not think so, unless praising and the likes is gossip ). Would I be to blame for the nights of sleep he has missed due to something I did without ill-intent ? Yet now this person uses terms like "bullying", which to me indicates I'm dealing with a really delicate flower ? If I do not want to bully, should I always wear proverbial fluffy mittens ?

@critialcloudkicker I might have screwed up the continuety a little bit there, my appologies @gweentea & @vcgriffin

@vcgriffin I agree with that, however I must simply add that there are probably more people out there who would rather avoid confrontation, or do not want to give up their free time to battle this so called "grownup power struggles".
Kids at school for instance do not have the power to change schools if they are bullied, however once they get to persuade their parents ( maybe by showing up home beaten into a pulp ) that they ARE being bullied it is in the power of the parents to do something about it, such as changing schools.
If you are the adult in your own life you get to make the desicions for your own. And most weigh the difficulty of picking up your stuff and moving to the drudges of having to deal with line managers, bosses, community organizers, and otherwise. The question is, is this bullying at work, or our own free will at work ? -
@gweentea This is what I believe in too pretty much. Then again if you or your stuff are assaulted/destroyed like in @vcgriffin 's example then we are no longer talking about bullying IMHO, that is taking it to a whole new level of something.
Regardless, I really think that bullying is a vital ( but nasty ) part of growing up that helps people develop in whom they become, especially what the "alpha beta omega gamma or sigma" designations are concerned.
The primary reason why I brought it up is because I have been approached IRL by someone's coach and have an appointment with this coach and the person she coaches regarding his claim that I bully him. Now I have done my homework and talked to my friends ( which intermingle with his friends somewhat ) and it turns out that he thinks I am a gossip because he heard me talking about his website without his presence. The problem ? We're both way past the age where you are supposed to "grow out of it" -
@vcgriffin I'm having a deja-vu, but I'll get a headache if I don't come through with it
Hey hey hey, stay out of my shed -
@vcgriffin hey you

@vcgriffin Workplace bullying is relatively common in the Unites States (I have seen it with my own eyes). It typically starts when an incompetent person (or people) views a highly competent worker as a threat. The incompetent bullies typically only have their jobs due to workplace politics. Their target is ruthlessly singled out, and the bullies go up the chain of command to get the target fired on trumped up accusations.

@vcgriffin Yeah... Minecraft is notorious for that sort of behaviour too.

@vcgriffin wait have you ever finished the game in a non-genocide run and then reset?
