As usual, you are not wrong. To be specific, the quote is aimed at a particular individual who has been attempting to bully and harass others here for a long time. The fact that most alt.os.linux.slackware participants are pretty much bullyproof does not change the nature of the bully himself. I find it quite telling that the bully has portrayed himself as the victim for so long that at least one other participant bought into his story. If this really was a case of the group bullying him, one would see other victims and a lot less ignoring. When one person ends up in conflict with everyone he encounters, it seems only reasonable to inquire as to what the common factor is. "The most hostile group was the one with high but unstable self esteem. These people think well of themselves in general, but their self-esteem fluctuates. They are especially prone to react defensively to ego threats, and they are also more prone to hostility, anger and aggression than other people. "These findings shed considerable light on the psychology of the bully. Hostile people do not have low self esteem; on the contrary, they think highly of themselves, But their favorable view of themselves is not held with total conviction, and it goes up and down in response to daily events. The bully has a chip on his shoulder because he thinks you might want to deflate his favorable self image." Roy F. Baumeister Evil: Inside Human Violence and Cruelty p 149
