Famousone: "Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual."
*My* definition of bullying: 1000% overused. Doesn't quite fit here. Getting put down or called stupid by someone doesn't constitute bully behavior.
Okay, the photographer was being an ass.
The customer was respectful and didn't attack anyone, there was no reason at all to be a jerk to her.
I get the message, but this is close to bullying.
I guess it can come off as a little harsh... But I don't think the photographer was intending to bully... I mean at least I hope the photographer wasn't
I can see at least 3 reasons to be a jerk to this woman. What if she was saying "I'm against mixed race marriage" instead of gay marriage, it's deplorable. She chose to place this on a public site (she could have called them or emailed) she was making a statement and got the statement back she deserves. No one should tolerate Homophobia.
It wasn't on a public site, it was messaging between her and him, as you can see where it's says "sent from mobile"and he didn't have to be rude about it. He could have just said I'm sorry, but as it states in the first article your retainer is non-refundable and left it at that. I know being homophobic is bad and she shouldn't be that way, but it is her view and you should respect everyone's views wheather you like it or not.
