I know folks, you're not all like that, but you keep showing us how many of those weirdos you have in your 300 million. Maybe you could restrain your news media!

Is this bullying because apparently it's not "hate mail"?

It is bullying to try to opress the neighbour who is apparantly a bit helpless.

Terry Pratchett had some wise things to say about people who use excessive exclamation points.

Perpetrators of bullying actually believe they can build their 'happiness' on someone else's unhappiness.

Obviously, this is fairly common knowledge. Analogously, the same could be said for people who think they can elevate themselves by attempting to bully their own pharisaic moral construct onto others by tsk-tsking or wagging their fingers in a condescending manner.

... a bully may appear intelligent, sociable and respectable yet behaves with morally bankrupt cowardice.

No, not by a long shot. The news media in America has been slowly de-fanged over the last few decades. There was a time when people in the wrong feared newspapers like the Washington Post and news shows like 60 Minutes.

People like the person who wrote that letter need to be outed at every opportunity.
