I did make an argument.   It's ridiculous that he sold his story.   But hey abc was dumb enough to give in so be it ....  

And my main beef on these topics is the ever changing vocabulary...  It's just dumb.   I'm tired of preferred pronouns, made up words, and one word with 6 different endings.     Dude is about as ambiguous as you can get...

Bullying isn't restricted to a physical act.

That's the thing, there is not allowed to BE an Alpha, anymore.
Unless it's a corporate or government entity, then that's another story, and it operates under different accepted label.

That or the kid gloves approach some here have on the matter. Too many get bent outta shape over a word. And I admit I poke but it's due to how obsurd the whole thing really is ....

The speed that some here are to call anyone a racist, sexist, or any other -ist is alarming.

Maybe a little bit of understanding on both ends would do everyoje well.

There is no successful pack without an alpha. Lack of alphas is the problem.

Yes. There are some that get hurt/bent out of shape at a word or thought, as well. 

"Extremists" on both sides, no doubt.

I watched the ESPYS while on the treadmill with no sound. I never saw any Bruce Jenner highlights before. Jesus Christ that chick was a stud.
