No one is suggesting that Michelle responds to this oaf.

SINSULL responded to an unwarranted attack on someone she loves dearly. From experience I know that bullies, if not taken to task, will just keep on going, hurting others, as was done to both Kendall and Michelle. I also know from experience that they see compassion and forgiveness as weaknesses and no reason for them to change their ways.

Whilst the person being ATTACKED may not be in a position to fight back that doesn't mean that those who care for them cannot make that effort on their behalf, in much the same way as one might attack a physical bully who was injuring another person.
