[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]True story:  my middle/high school bully's older brother wrote a book about bullying, and in interviews spoke about how much he hated bullying.

I don't see how he couldn't have known what a vicious, evil bully his little brother was.  [/quote]

Maybe he did know and that's why he wrote the book. Siblings don't always get along and maybe the younger one was bullying the older one. [/quote]

I doubt it.  They were four years apart, and the older one was well-liked and handsome, and very intelligent (not a surprise he became a writer).  The younger one was a short, skinny rat-faced loser who wasn't very bright, and kind of floated on the periphery of his brother's friend group just because they were related.  I don't think anybody in my high school knew I was in the throes of bulimia, but somehow the evil bully picked up on something, and used to make horrible taunts to me about my body (and I wasn't overweight at all).  Actually, I blame him for CAUSING my bulimia.  I will never, ever forget the things he said to me when we were at the same lab table freshman year, and I have no idea why he focused on me, but it was horribly embarrassing and painful to me.  I wish him nothing but pain and misery in his life.

When I read the interviews his big brother gave about how his novel was inspired by bullying and hazing at our high school, I really struggled with myself to resist posting comments on his amazon reviews about how his own brother was the worst bully of all.  [/quote]

You should have. It's fair game. I don't find this petty at all.[/quote]

I'm sorry this happened to you, but it's really not normal or healthy to "wish nothing but pain and misery in his life" for a childhood bully from decades ago. I'm not trying to diminish your suffering. I'm just saying that this isn't healthy and you really seem like you need therapy.[/quote]
