Bullying is a very serious issue, but in this case I don't think I'm willing to give him that excuse.

I've seen it.
Not the "push him over and stand over top of him" playground bullying. More the "he doesn't fit in and let's make snide remarks" type of thing. Everyone has the odd run-in, but some people seem to end up in that position habitually.
A strong person can deal with it, but not everyone is strong.
