I am intimately and personally familiar with the subject.

"How condescending of you and how out of touch from your original question you are. You are engaging people and how they think, stupid child. go back to your original classes and start again."

"No hunny you are a freshman starting his degree in Philosophy. The 1992 makes you roughly 21 years old and you are no more alpha than my left ankle. "

"The shame is on you student... Otherwise your research is flawed and incomplete and you will fail your assignment"

"Are you lazy?"

"No my dear...YOU are being lazy. get online and DO YOUR RESEARCH! IF that includes friends and family then so be it...do you know nothing? "

"Still doesn't detract from the freshman striving to be lazy though" (having just asked not to be referred to as freshman and making it clear I wasn't one. If this isn't a textbook example of bullying I don't know what is.)

None of the above violate any rules that we have here.

This is a forum that values free expression. We don't generally censor opinions.

You might try developing thicker skin.
