Yes, I've met my share of bullies over the years, but I don't think my experiences are much different from those related above - so I won't bore you with them.

What fascinates and apalls me, though, is the way that these bastards always seem to get to the top. Doesn't the description, supplied by 'The Shambles' and others, fit many politicians and world leaders?
Why, when we have a pretty comprehensive description of such 'bullies',and know what they're capable of, do we continue to choose them to lead us - often going so far as to elect them? I have come to the conclusion that the human race is a species which is incapable of learning from its mistakes.
