Like the bully isn't worth defending over it but really I think after you're done with high school it's time to just move on and break ties with anyone you dislike. So I don't really see the point of doing this.

nemu posted...Seems fair. Regardless if the bully was just an asshole or using the bullying as a coping mechanism for his own physical or mental abuse, tormenting another person is not in any way justifiable. Maybe in some universe it would have been possible to open up a dialogue of understanding, but the victim owes nothing to the bully. The bully left himself open for possible retaliation for *drumroll* If the bully also participated in physical harassment towards the victim (very common in high school bullying), I certainly would not fault the victim for merely casting justifiable shade at a ripe opportunity. Many victims would have understandably sought to do worse. Either way, it's the bully's fault for getting snubbed later on for being an ass in youth. Morally it's not the victim's responsibility to reach out on that for closure. A reformed bully would seek to make amends, which apparently was not attempted in this case. So you will see no sympathy for the bully from me. His actions set himself up for backlash. --- The funny thing about telling others to take the high road is how often it's hypocritical advice. http://tryimg.com/8/2017/06/28/IdSqD.png ...

It probably would have been more productive with less drama if he had just talked to him privately and said "Hey remember when you bullied me. How about we talk about the fact that you're bisexual now" instead of putting him on blast

So I don't really see the point of doing this. catharsis and i side with the victim outing his bully if you're a major jerk to people in the past, that doesn't magically shield you from criticism years later and thats what the victim brought: a giant block of justified criticism the victim should not be gettin shame for that at all i went through similar shit as a gay girl in high school other girls bullied me for being homosexual and not being another fuckin cheerleading prostitute like they were if i heard they came out as anything but straight later i would be first in line to roast their hypocritical asses for that and the best roasts have an audience bully was a fool for leavin himself open to payback lol --- Moo. #Listen&Investigate ...

So what is the point? We should just prostrate ourselves for the sins of our past and skip some kind of meaningful reconciliation? The "point" is to give the bully an opportunity to come clean, to repent. What, the bully was approached in a less than gentle way? Well boo-fucking-hoo. marc55 posted... being Being, present time, yessir. The moment the bully comes out he stands not just a bully (yes, still, as far as I know there's no statute of limitations on bullying, lel) but more importantly and relevant a hypocrite. Again, it's not his bullying that's the problem, it's his hypocrisy. Again. If the bully had included an apology, heck just a confession and acknowledgment of his bullying (to no one in particular) when he came out, that would have been completely different. ...

The whole thing could have been handled better. Has nothing to do with shielding the bully. Its about closure. Actual closure. Not just going out of your way to be a self righteous ass on social media. There was nothing to gain from that except shame somebody else. Thats not productive and it helps no one. If you wanna go around punishing others for the past, then pretty much anyone over anything is free game. Thats why this is petty. Nobody wants closure though.

Fuck closure! Big time fuck closure. Now the gay guy on top of everything needs to seek "closure"?? Give me a fucking break.
The gay guy is practically irrelevant to this whole thing, this isn't about the victim, it could have been anyone calling out the bully. It's not about "owing" anybody anything, certainly not "closure". This is about calling out a hypocrite. There aren't many nice ways to do it, sorry. Hey, you're a fucking hypocrite. Is it ugly? Yeah it's ugly, sorry it ruins your beautiful moment or whatever, but yeah, I guess it does. It fucking should. But if the bully actually changed then something positive can still come out of it. If you did something wrong but you repent, and then someone calls you out on it, IN WHATEVER WAY, you acknowledge your wrong and you apologize. And shame be fucking damned. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, except nobody is gonna prostrate themselves and beg forgiveness so somebody can ride a high horse. If you arent seeking closure or some kind of reconciliation, then youre just out to get some kind of petty revenge. Who DIDNT get bullied in high school for fuck sakes? Also, hows the guy a hypocrite? For what? Bullying another gay dude for being effeminate? Are all gay people apart of some cult where the etiquette is that they all have to like each other? You can bully someone for anything. Hell, by classic standards you might say the bully had a thing for the gay dude, lol. Point is that nobody is gonna halt their lives and address somebody going full diva on your fuckin page like some kind of stuck up ass. Their just gonna block em. You know why?

I probably would not have done what the gay guy did, but I say good for him taking action. He was able to get the revenge, the closure or whatever you want to call it, on his own terms and he wasn't violent about it. A lot of victims don't ever get the justice they think they deserve. I mean you could wait for it or hope that someone else will get it for you, but then you get called petty or unrealistic, and other people have their own shit to deal with. This gay guy clearly wasn't going to let the opportunity to set things right pass him by.

The bully was the one who set all this in motion by being a douche in the first place.
Doesn't really matter how much time past. If he eventually got backlash for it later (any type of backlash), wow omg what a shocker. Gosh, how rare and unexpected... When you bully other people, don't whine about getting nailed back with revenge when you let your guard down. You literally gave someone else an incentive to fuck with you back.

Why is he holding onto a decade old grudge? Being made to feel like you are less than a person because of your sexuality is hardly a grudge. What the bully did was awful and it is something he should could terms with and rectify. Accept he was a terrible person and make amends for it. He absolutely does not "get a pass" because it was some time ago or he himself was bi. What he did was make someone suffer got something they had no control over. Bullying people over their sexuality (and just in general) leads to severe consequences. What if his victim was one of the many bullying victims who killed themselves, self harmed or remains plagued by mental health issues for the rest of their life? If the victim "did it in the right way" is largely irrelevant. The bully shouldbe public about his past actions. Accept what he did was awful and apologise for what he did and was. Not keep it hidden away from others. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Only mention I see of it being used in this topic was by the lgbt news site, so seems a fair usage to me. Many "in the community" use it specifically to make it a reclaimed word.
