Let's just leave the topic of bullying. It is an interesting topic but I am viewing it from a more academic/behavioural viewpoint. Plus, on a more personal note - I really hate bullies. Rest assured that if Jim Davidson was behaving like Linda is, I'd utterly detest him.

So you don't detest the man with the long history of racism, homophobia, sexism, wife beating, (which he admitted) which are all forms of bullying - yet you detest Linda for sniping at and disliking that man (who is not a helpless child and sniped back) on a reality TV show.
Do you seriously believe a man with his history of nastiness is incapable of giving it back 100 - fold if he so chose? He is holding back because he is playing the game of Mr. Innocent Victim - and you are falling for it.
Now THAT is funny.
