Well, that's only your opinion. Bullying is defined as repeated, aggressive behavior over a longer period of time, intended to gain power over another person. Since you have been here for only one day and since I don't think anyone feels the need to gain power over you, you are not being bullied.

It wasn't criticism and thus not supposed to be constructive.

Says the arrogant person, who can't apologize for being wrong.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
