I don't really get people branding Austin a "bully" tbh. Yes, he's aggressive, loud, confrontational. But I don't think he has bullied anyone at all. Bullying to me is picking on the same person constantly. Whilst he has done that to Janice, let's be honest she gives as good as she gets and can be quite provocative (and that's coming from a fan of hers). I understand why he gets angry (even if it isn't the best way to react)
Real bullies are people who use their superiority to pick on others who are considered weaker and haven't done anything wrong. People like Helen Wood and Pete Burns. Austin's behaviour has been nothing like that at all. The word gets thrown around within an eye blink on here
