Wot, no deadlines today? Taking a break from trying to ferret out Sylvia's address from obscure web pages?


How does it feel to be part of a jeering crowd of people who can't
sell their writing?


You mean people like PJ, who's sold 75 books? Or Stan, who has a newspaper column? Or Hope, who's been a journalist for eleventy hundred years? I'm happy to be in their illustrious company and of course so very grateful that they let a bullying witch who can't sell her writing hang out with them.


Terrifying to think of your failures, isn't it?


Oh yes. I shall have to bully you some more to make myself feel better. Skip is a flabby-faced moron! Ahhhh.

Oh, poor Skippy's feeling bullied again, and by "girls." Tee hee.
Are we supposed to feel sorry for a 50+ year old, allegedly successful Hollywood writer who can't handle getting mocked on a newsgroup where he constantly mocks others? What's funny is that
I seem to be the only one around here right now "bullying" him.
Yep, that's right, it's just UV and Skip, but Skip's feeling all
scared and threatened by a "girl" who "can't sell her writing."

Funny stuff.


Excerpt:

Girl Bullies

Of the teens that enjoy ganging up on victims (girls and boys
alike), many have similar psychological issues. However, there
is definitely not a one-size-fits-all parameter in which all
children fit. Generally speaking some of the following factors
may come into play:

* Abuse at home
* Lack of attention at home
* Insecure
* Boredom
* High intelligence/failure to be challenged

Okay, I'll cop to the above two. :)


* Thrill of power
* Fear of abandonment

Along with the leader of the gang, is a group of by-standers.
Those that are grateful not to be the victim, but too scared
not to stand up for her. They go along to get along (with the
ring-leader).

I wish one of them would get me a cafe mocha. ~bullying glare at bystanders~


How come Stan gets to go in front of me?
