My reference to the brigade being emotional abuse is every bit as sarcastic as your rampage the last day or so about me pointing out (correctly) that you are a bully on this website. I find it quite interesting the juxtaposition between your rush to point out injustices in the world and then how you operate on this forum. Now go prove me right again rally the troops in search of thanks and mock me some more. Winning?
I went and read the definition of emotional abuse. I think actually to a certain degree both of us are right. The definition of emotional abuse can be pretty darn far reaching which I would only contest seems so watered down that essentially any minimalizing of others constitutes emotional abuse and so here we are Pepsifree, guess we’re both just in an emotionally abusive relationship on this website together. Now, does that make sense to you?

Man, your opinion of who is or isn’t a bully couldn’t mean less. Let’s just skip your need to make it personal and stick to the conversation, okay? Nobody is calling a “brigade” to come get you, you weirdo lol.
Anyways. For one, we’re not in any kind of relationship.
Two, I don’t think you actually looked it up or at least spent more than a minute on it, because you’re missing the entire motivation and situation that makes emotional abuse what it is.

This abuse occurs when someone uses words or actions to try and control the other person, to keep someone afraid or isolated, or try to break someone’s self-esteem.

You can argue whether verbal abuse between strangers really constitutes “emotional abuse” or not, but when in a relationship and the motivation is control (you can’t do this), isolation (you can’t see these people), or lowering self-esteem (modelling is dumb!) then it becomes pretty clear.
I’m not sure what you think the difference between this and “real” emotional abuse is? What’s a detailed example of “real” emotional abuse to you?
