Kay is dead on.
A bully conducts a campaign of harassment, which by definition repeats actions done with the express intent of causing harm.
One-off comments are not bullying.
Organizing a bunch of people to harass is bullying. Spending days personally harassing and demeaning someone is bullying.
Comments made in stupidity, jest or even aggression but not on a repeated basis?
Free (but disgusting) speech.
You can't arrest them for lying.
You can sue them for libel though.
