This blog posting is the first of our personal opinions examining the impact of bullying on everyday people.
Bullying is different from constructive criticism or conflict, bullying is persistent, it focuses on a person rather than a real issue.
We consider an attack from a certain blogger as a "Badge of Honor."
On Freedom Of Speech we discuss the issues that affect each and everyone of us on a daily bases, in our wallets and pocketbooks, while the local "bully blogger" makes everything personal.
It's his way or the highway.
He's like a schoolyard bully who wants to exert their size and show that they are powerful enough to make others do what he wants and uses fear tactics.
If he has nothing to gain, and by that we mean $$$$$, it means nothing to him. Believe us if we hear his "buy local BS again" I think we will vomit.
He lives by a double standard.
It is a well know fact, if you do NOT purchase his beer, you are discussed all over town.
If a council member, an elected or appointed official doesn't kiss his ass, or others don't agree with him, votes for what he wants, or whatever the issue might be, he humiliates them the next day and continues for days, weeks or months.
Big mistake!
Why cut your nose off to spite your face. We recommend for his reading pleasure: How to Win Friends and Influence People the RIGHT way..
But, what he won't accept or understand is that everyone doesn't like his beer. Some businesses refuses to carry his brands.
If you want to buy a pint or a bottle of Bud or even Miller Light that's your right.
Cyber bullying occurs everyday with his social media updates on (Twitter, Facebook and Blogger) are used to threaten or humiliate someone and can be just as serious as the effects of bullying until he is confronted in person.
Is this why he lost the last election?
Absolutely!
Our final thoughts:
The next time your photo or name appears on his Twitter, Facebook or Blogger page consider it a Badge of Honor!
Have a great weekend....
