Also if people think I am being to dramatic when I state "bullying", here is an excerpt from the Bullying page of Wikipedia"Bullying can be defined in many different ways. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has no legal definition of bullying,[6] while some states in the United States have laws against it.[7] Bullying is divided into four basic types of abuse – emotional (sometimes called relational), verbal, physical, and cyber.[8] It typically involves subtle methods of coercion, such as intimidation.HIs actions reflected emotional abuse and verbal abuse, used to try to intimidate me.I also think it is bullying because he thought I might be to scared or (dominated over) to do something about it, either that or I am not entirely sure if he is aware of his own actions.I stand against bullying, stand up for people being bullied, and choose not to be a victim of bullying.I don't have any friends or associates in my life that are bullies, or treat me in a disrespectful way. Which is why I really don't even feel comfortable mediating this with him at the current time.Thank you for readingRaycRobert Albert Young Chu"Radiant Ambition Yields Change."Call or Text :415-724-0425Email: robert.chu01@gmail.comOn Mon, Mar 12, 2018 at 11:28 AM, Robert Chu <robert.chu01@gmail.com> wrote:Hello Robb, thank you for your volunteering to do so. After reflecting off of this for three days. I am still a bit shaken over the incident, and don't think I even wish to mediate currently, my hands were truly shaking for about two hours after his barrage of verbal assaults toward me. I don't really even feel comfortable talking through a mediator with him as well at the current time.He tried bullying me to force me to feel sorry for him, for something in which I clearly had done no wrong. He got pissed that I moved "his table", because it had his laptop bag attached to it. "THERE IS NO PERSONAL STORAGE AT SUDOROOM", if he didn't violate this, then this would not have transpired."Then I told him how I felt, not to talk to me and was insulted. (assertion of dominance, again).IMHO through his actions, he straight up bullied me and I defended myself by contacting another Sudoroom member for support and advice on the matter (who lucky enough was able to pick up during working business hours). I felt like I was being whipped mentally everytime he would yell over me yelling "F**K You" multiple times." And lying about owning a table.I don't tolerate people like that and don't engage with them at all. Currently in my life I am not friends, or even associated with anyone, who acts in such ways at all.THE SAFE SPACE POLICY WAS CLEARLY VIOLATED AS WELL!!!Thank you Robb once again stepping up, and your support.(even writing this is still eating at the back of my head)Robert Albert Young Chu"Radiant Ambition Yields Change."Call or Text :415-724-0425Email: robert.chu01@gmail.comOn Sat, Mar 10, 2018 at 12:38 PM, robb <sf99er@gmail.com> wrote:if either party wishes for someone to help mediate this matter, i am availableOn Fri, Mar 9, 2018 at 4:09 PM, Steve Leach <stevenaleach@gmail.com> wrote:To the group as a whole, I apologizing for causing Robert stress, I did yell at him outside the Omni, though only with the intent of re-expressing something that I had expressed the previous day in a more clear and somewhat comedic manner. It seemed that perhaps with his high energy level, my normal tone the previous day had not registered because I hadn't bothered to sound upset. So today I intentionally let him know that I was upset. Now - the issue at hand is something I set myself up for: most nights, especially when it is raining, I have made it a habit of leaving my laptop in a basket under a table at the front. There's no pressing reason to leave it there - my little abode is waterproof and lockable, but not while I am asleep, and the unlikely scenario of someone opening the door while I'm unconscious and managing to walk off with my irreplaceable gear means I've felt safer leaving it semi-secured inside the building rather than with me at night. Two days in a row, however, I found the basket with my laptop bag sitting forlorn and alone in the middle of the floor in the general 'donataions/hack-this' zone where I couldn't blame anyone if they would have come before me and adopted it. I grumbled good naturedly at Robert yesterday, just to point out the situation that resulted when the table went away and suggested he should have taken the other table of the pair -- or move the basket under the remaining table instead. Today, I found the same scenario repeated and decided to actually show that I was upset. If this apparently frightened or caused stress to Robert, I'm sorry - that was neither my intention nor at all expected. I just chose to be a little more theatrical and high energy in communicating with a boisterous high energy individual who had disregarded my previous attempts at communication. That he apparently mistook this as threatening is unfortunate and unexpected - again, I was just trying to more match his normal energy level and boisterousness since my more flat and matter-of-fact communication previously had not worked. Again, sorry to all for causing any unneeded chaos, and in the future I will avoid the problem by simply keeping my laptop with me at night and therefore not having to worry about it.
