Have you ever personally experienced being bullied?

Yesterday I threw out a question I knew was going to be controversial, in defense of someone else. The responses started off okay, and then the attacks on me turned pretty personal and what I considered less than nice. I’m glad it went that way, because it was an interesting learning experience. But I will admit it stung. Some of the responders are jellies I’ve tried to help out in the past. I’ve been around long enough to handle it, but it still got to me. I can’t imagine how a child could handle too much of it. Think about it a little. How would you handle it?
