MP: "Even if the intent is not to bully but just to "have a bit of fun", if the impact is that somebody feels bullied, its is bullying. " No. If you feel bullied but there was no bullying intent, that's not bullying. That's perhaps being over-sensitive. Same for feeling someone is being rude, boasting etc. Let's not go down the route of if you feel it, it MUST be the case. Otherwise you're never going to take the piss out of anyone again, be snide, or sarcastic. We're not Germans goddamnit !
