BDI, to help you out a bit in understanding how these guys operate. Most of them are bullies and always have been. And they enjoy what they do. And they always will. So they'll never change.
I always wondered
why it is some can do and say things they have utter disdain for as long as it's not their idea or perceptions. I'll argue a point to oblivion at times, but in spite of a few ramblings here and there I'll try to be less of a bully than I have been accused. Especially when most of that was in fun and reciprocal.
