Actually, I condone it too, I just thought I'd put the disclaimer because it seemed like the thing to do. But yeah, I've dealt with a lot of bullying too, and at least as a kid, I tended to fight right back (unfortunately, after puberty, the boys shot up in height and I had to switch to sarcasm as my weapon of choice).

You know the really depressing thing about this story? Apparently the bullied kid was expelled and nothing was done about the little shit that started it all. WTF!
