That's why I'm so confused. You make statements like these:

A bully's greatest weakness is his own delusional belief that he's not weak himself.

If a bully was in a position of power he wouldn't need to bully others to reassure himself of it.

A truly powerful person doesn't need to put others down to build himself up. That's what a weak person does because a weak person needs to do it to make himself feel powerful.

Then you say that you yourself have been a bully, but none of the statements relate to your own actions. So why are you linking an article and making definitive statements like the ones I quoted when a single moment of actual thought would tell you that your own personal experiences don't support your statements?

Did you not read the post where I indicated that I didn't write the article and do not agree that all bullies are weak and insecure?

That comment of mine that you quoted only relates to one specific type of bully - the ones who claim that bullying others means they're powerful. It does not relate to every, single bully. Duh.

Do you agree or disagree that a bully is more powerful than the victim of a bully?

That question requires more than a simple yes or no answer because bullies aren't all the same and neither are those who are bullied.

Bullying does not make someone powerful. You can be powerful without bullying and you can be a bully without being powerful.

Anyone can be bullied. Even those in a position of power. Ever watched a bunch of politicians have a political debate?

I wasn't asking about an objective definition of "powerful," but rather a comparative ranking of status relative to a specific situation.

I agree that power can exist outside of bullying, and yes, I have watched political debates. 

So to clarify, you believe there are different types of bullying, one of which stems from insecurity, and the other which stems from amusement?

Yes, there are different types of bullies. I already made that clear in my previous posts...

So theoretically, relating it to your own experiences, you would understand that if someone bullied you for amusement, it's possible they were doing so because they thought that you were acting like a victim?

They could think it, but it wouldn't be true. At least, not in reality anyway because I don't act like a victim.

I suppose it's a matter of perspective. I doubt any of your victims thought they acted like victims either.

There are some who do. Some people have a victim mentality and they're aware of it. Look at dex for example. He even referred to himself as a victim.
