I'm sorry that you had to meet up with such an ass. I never had to deal with this, being in the construction trades & it does have a bit of the macho mentality inbetted in it & a bully being a coward, they'd usually end up with having their mouth gettin their jaw broken.

I do believe that the situation you're describing is what causes kids in schools & adults in the work place (warning not PC) "to go postal". Werein the bully does get their due but the victim pays again for the crime of being victimized, twice. Surely the bully doesn't deserve death but tell that to the victim whose been trying to use the right channels to alleviate their condition, as you stated. Like you mentioned the victim has had it with the terror & then to be called paranoid & then to see the jerk get premoted & all the while seeing the justice that should be, never happening & the situation will be seen as ongoing & continuing. Well maybe they should be shot. It's pretty easy to see how this can come about so often. And you're right, there should be a law. In the US there are federal laws for the schools & every school is supposed to have a "bully policy" & they're supposed to inforce it but bullies perfect their abilities at a very early age & are basically like a child predator as a child & as an adult an adult predator. They're very hard to tract down & they're hunting techniques are like a phantom's, their pride in their ability is like a lion's & if they have controlled their surrounding enviorment to where they can feed in public without fear then they need to be brought down like the animal that they've turned into. To bring them down in the work place all that's needed to be done is (if there's enough) to agree with all victims, always include the bully's boss, is to ignor his evey wish, order & demand & just do your job. He/She then becomes useless as an effectual administrator, the wind has been taken out of their sails. Of course if their boss doesn't back your play & others won't join in the bully will come at you with everything they posses. Now you've become a threat & you'll have to go. So don't take any of my advice just wack the bastard with a pipe,,,, outside,,,,, in an alley,,,,,when it's very dark,,,,,when he/she is very drunk,,,,,,& when there's no one around. Remember "DON"T FOLLOW MY ADVICE",,,,,,good luck.
