Here are some examples of bullying. These were said without provocation.
"This is a news thread, not a thread to discuss your pet conspiracy theories. Your friends in the anti-vax thread would probably love to do that with you."
"You're a reflexive contrarian so no one really cares what you claim to believe or assume. If I said the sky was blue you would argue with me.
If you cared to learn more (not clear that you do) you would see that he was ultimately cited for a missing front license plate. I feel free to assume that he didn't so something far worse which would cause these very fine gentleman to threaten him with an extra judicial killing for failure to comply.
On the other hand, maybe you've now turned over a new leaf and have stopped making assumptions in all areas on BI. I don't read the anti-vaxxer thread but I'm glad to hear you no longer claim that any young person or athlete who suffers any sort of injury must be connected to mRNA and must be a serious career-ending and life-threatening consequence. LOL, who are we kidding."
Responding to that nastiness by calling that poster a name (acting like one), after being told to go find a safe space, is not a good example of bullying. Thanks.
You twisted the facts of an event and then argued as if those facts were true in support of your beliefs. That is what I meant by "you do you.". You certainly escalated it and responded viciously. That discussion ended more than a week ago. If you are still offended by "you do you" and feel the need to attack, berate, and bully because of it, you should take a break. Rather, I think you have a goal of bullying posters with views you don't like (a few others join you) in an effort to silence those views. "You do you" is merely a justification for your poor behavior.
I won't claim to know all the facts of this case, but criminal charges seem pretty thin here.DiabloWags said:

Let me guess....
Barack Obama's father was from Africa.
Barack Obama grew up in Indonesia.
Barack Obama used to be called Barry.
Barack Obama birth announcement in Hawaii newspapers was fake.
Barack Obama birth certificate doesn't exist. Fake, because "where is the LONG FORM?"
Barack Obama smoked pot.
Barack Obama is a mere "community organizer".
Barack Obama only got into Harvard because of liberal activist Affirmative Action.
Tucker Carlson and Movielover et al conclusion: Barack Obama is not qualified to be President.
Too bad for all y'all: Barack Obama is one of the smartest, best, historic Presidents of all.
The only reason for me to listen to anything Tucker Carlson says is to keep track and his latest deceptions of logic for his foolish audience.
This moment cemented Jon Stewart’s elevation from political comedian to Very Important Thinker, but Tucker Carlson is now the most powerful person in conservative media and every CNN program apes Crossfire’s style of manufactured partisan debate. pic.twitter.com/HQIJLURzLP

She did, and then planned to shoot herself, the police said. But in the end, "she couldn't go through with it."https://t.co/i2HtCrtmaz
Because when Democrats had control of Congress they were busy working on legislation that could actually happen. Now that Republicans control the House, everything is performative. Nothing important will happen. Just both sides posturing. Republicans will be abusing their oversight and investigatory powers while Democrats will be talking about things they'd like to achieve if they had 100% of the vote.Apathetic Bear said:Awful shame they didn't propose that when they had 100% control of Congress.

2. Citizens United is not that old. But since then, we've learn more and more how bad it is. Dark Money is ruling more and more. So, in recent years people like Schiff, Sheldon Whitehouse of RI and Amy Klobuchar and others have been speaking out about it. In the meantime, the issue gets worse. How about recent case of Leonard Leo leaving $1.6B to buy elections for decades? Or, where did Santos get the money for his campaign? If you know anything about electoral politics, you'll know that the money game is pretty much completely out of control.
3. If it passes, it will apply to R's and D's equally.
4. Your cynicism doesn't make you right.
Try actually considering the issue and then commenting on it. Would you like all of our elections to be bought? Well, they are.
