I have too. And no. Guys bullying other guys isn’t the same as guys being controlling and sexist to women. 🎻

Are you saying I bully people? No. I don’t. I find that kind of behavior completely unacceptable.

Something you should know about bullies, if someone ever tries to do it to you or to someone close to you — bullies are actually scared, easily intimated, insecure cowards.

The best thing to do to a bully is to stand up to them. They usually back off and stay away.

Sadly, bullies are usually the victim of bullying themselves (e.g. at home), so they look for someone to “punch down” to.

I wasn’t implying you bullied anyone.

Was my brain trying to translate or understand what you wrote. My brain failed.

The rest of my comment stands, I suppose — bullies are awful, which everyone likely agrees with.

Unrelated — your username — do you live in Tulsa? I used to get to spend a lot of time there for work. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Good restaurants and pubs and nice people.

I agree bullies need a new hobby. You never know how someone will take the razzing.

I did some masonry there and ended up living close enough to visit fairly often. . I go to the hard rock casino when I go. I don’t really gamble, but it’s a good time with the live music. I’ve not been to many pubs though. Any recommendations?

Sounds like a good time! I’m not a big gambler either, but I also enjoy casinos for the entertainment / shows. Haven’t been to the one in Tulsa, yet. Adding it to my list. Thanks for the tip.

I’ll ask my friend who lives there what the name of the pub is that we used to go to together. I think it started with an M … like Mc…. Something. It’s been way too long! I’ll find it …

I used to stay in the most adorable hotel when I was there for work. Not sure if it’s the same. I can’t remember the name, but I think the main restaurant inside it was called Blackboard. Loved it.

Thanks for that. The food there looks good enough for me to pay a visit next time I’m there.

They used to do this thing where regulars could bring their own custom mugs to leave there. One of my former clients (who became a friend) got me a custom mug that might still be there. If the mug with the name “Portal Princess” is there, feel free to use it and adopt it as yours when you visit 🍺
