Oh okay then. How does a foul mouthed, insulting,intimidating, vulgarian conform to your dictates of behavior then?

I will believe you the minute he says something like that to Chloe again.

It's more a US college fraternity malicious hazing task than a military one. Like the film Dazed and Confused, but with a fraternity rather than high school.

Yes certainly. She was reprimanded for that because it was perceived as bullying

Calling him boring is fine.

When people call him a bully and refuse to offer proof it seems like straw clutching.

Since when do people have to offer proof for their opinions?

There's only rarely proof for anything outside mathematics anyway.

Well there was a little more evidence there with her getting a series long immunity pass. It's hardly unusual for BB to relent on or change these type of things but they stuck by it stoically with her

Calling someone a bully with no evidence is wrong imo

Marc uses Banter as an excuse to intimidate housemates.

Too many more of his intimidatory tactics with Danny, and i'd be happy to say he's bullying Danny.

People tend to be happy to back up their assertions if it is possible to do so. No one says you HAVE to provide proof of Marc indulging in a sustained campaign of bullying and manipulation. It just smacks of straw clutching if you don't. But as you say, you don't care.

Was Danny bullying/intimidating Marc last Friday when he was shouting and getting in his face?

Shall we just agree that everyone is a bully?

Or jack pointing out the laws surrounding harassment despite forgetting to do the same to Aaron.

No, his intentions we're to defend his friends. perhaps by intimidating Marc physically and directly, ok, but his intention was not, to bully.

Plus, i see Bullying as a sustained attack on individuals, and Danny hasn't shown any signs of repeating his behavior of that night.

The evidence is in his behaviour in BB.

Who said anything about "a sustained campaign of bullying and manipulation"?

You've had to exaggerate the wording because it's too clear that he's a bully.

And it can't be clutching at straws because there's so much else that could be said against him.

So you're saying he isn't indulging in a sustained campaign of bullying and manipulation? Good. That's a start.

When you said...
