This might help you relax. People can be bullied for anything. Being honest, being dishonest, it's all the same to people who bully. The bully might say that whatever you have done is the reason for the bullying, but that's a load of bull. Most abusers blame their victims, and bullying is a form of abuse. Bullies bully a) because they get away with it b) because they're sadistic and lack moral fiber c) because they get away with it d) because they invariably have equally spineless cohorts applauding their cheap tactics e) because they can pose online as their own equally spineless cohorts, by dint of the ability to make as many sign on names as they can, in order to pursue their sadistic hobby and finally, f) because they get away with it. Bullies are everywhere, even here. I look at it this way. Say what you're going to say and then either stand by what you've said, or apologize if you truly believe what you've said is wrong. If you don't believe you've done anything wrong, don't apologize. No matter what someone says, there is always at least one other person in the world who will agree with it. Online one never has to wait long, especially the more egregious the post. As for your feelings; I understand what you mean. There are a lot of people who like to claim to have delicate sensibilities while they defecate all over someone else's sensibilities. You can probably guess what I think they are full of. So take a page from the bully book and say what you are going to say and do what you are going to do, and that includes doing with your feelings what you want to do with them, because they are your feelings and no one has the right to mess with them.
