The world ain't going to bend over and kiss your ass just because someone hurt your feelings. So, stand up, show some strength and people will respect you. If you get upset or hurt over something that someone says, it only makes you look like a Kindergartener because only kids get hurt by words. I assume you're an adult, so start acting like one. Plain and simple.

So, to stop a bully, let's create another bully? That's some great logic.

It's not being a bully, it's standing up for yourself. I learned that nobody gives a shit back at 8 years old, when I started standing my ground and sticking up for myself I'd get suspended for doing exactly what I was told to do with bullies. Know what I did after that? I did it all over again, and again, and again, and again. By the time I got to high school the would be bullies feared my temper and backed hell off. The only ones that tried starting shit were the ones who never met me and those who had met me told them: "you don't want to piss him off, I've been on tbe recieving end and you want no part of it" so I used my reputation to defend others and stop bullying. Not once did I need to get physical to stop others being bullied. The one time I had to get physical to stop my own bullying in high school my jaw got broken, it's still broken from that day 9 years ago this march. To this day the person who did it still hasn't tried pissing me off even once and I didn't even have to lay a single hand on him.

There is a difference between standing up for yourself, and bullying them back.

Then standing up for yourself, self defense, sticking it to the man. In any case, sometimes you have to be the bully to do that.

This seems kind of naive to me.
Disregarding the context of your post, verbal attacks certainly can deal damage to a person's mental health. So, it's fairly reasonable to think that people, other than kids, can be hurt by them.

You're being naive, sometimes you have to fight back and hit first to stand your ground.
There's teachers who called me standing my ground "bullying others" and "trying to get them in trouble" it's all a matter of perspective. From their perspective the students egging my house with a cease and desist order from the police on file "couldn't possibly do that" because they were the star sports players and I was the kid with a temper and a mental disability so I got blamed for all of it. To the fucking teachers eyes I was the bully. To them, telling a kid with an emotional age 5 years below their physical age to "grow up and act your age" was justified. They said because egging my house was off-school grounds, that they had no responsibilty to do anything about it, no requirement to acknowledge the police order and keep the students from bothering me. When I transferred schools, rumors spread I was in juvie, I reinforced those rumors and used them to my advantage and intimidate would-be bullies into backing off and leaving me be. Is that bullying or standing up for myself with what I had at my disposal?

Actually all this talk of bullying reminds me of that scene from Zootopia where Nick says "never let them see that they get to you". So maybe the best course of action is to just ride it out. Still, show confidence...

I identify with Nick so damn much, the people around me refused to see for myself, so I became what they expected me to be/saw me as and they regretted it, they left me the hell alone out of the fear that they brought on themselves. It's not something I'm proud of, in fact it's one of my biggest regrets. I regret that they ever changed me, I regret that because of them and my response to it that I have to struggle to figure out what exactly is the real me like. I didn't choose this, it was forced on me. They still blame me for it and judge me for fitting the description they gave me long before it was ever true. Who's the bully? Me for becoming what they saw me as and using it to my advantage, or them for causing it to be needed in the first place?

The reason I say what's in my post is because I learned from my experiences myself. Growing up wasn't exactly easy for me. I got bullied a lot when I was younger too. But, I grew past it. People ended up trying to fight me regularly when I was in school, but I grew past that too. I didn't keal over when somebody said they wanted to fight me. I stood up for myself. I didn't take shit from anybody. Sometimes, I actually resorted to fighting with people when I deemed it was necessary and was me fighting for the right reasons. I never lost a single fight I was in either because I wasn't afraid of what they might do or say to me. I survived physical violence in my youth, I survived verbal attacks in my youth. Now, I'm making myself a career and being successful at doing it. I don't live in the past, thinking about every little thing people have done to try hurting me because "why should I?"... Why is that so hard to understand to just know when to move on and have a life? What someone says over the internet is not a reason to run and cry about. Offense is a choice and not a right because it is really your choice to decide whether or not you're going to allow what someone says to offend you. And, if you're really looking for a "safe space" to hide from all the mean things that can be said, then don't go on the internet and go live out in the wilderness by yourself. The world isn't a nice place and I learned that myself. Learn to deal with it, don't get offended by something that might be slightly disagreeable with your beliefs, and the world will turn out to be a much better place otherwise you're going to see everything as hatred against you and it'll make you miserable for the rest of your life because you'll be too busy trying to find ways to get offended by what people say.

Nooow it makes sense. But, would it be of any survival value?

Probably not, but it's hard to think of something nature didn't :/Nooow it makes sense. But, would it be of any selective value?
This made the most sense to me, though. Of all my ideas, lol
