By the way, I enjoy the information (on the site) and I've been on the receiving end of workplace bullying on more than one occasion. It's funny how competent people tend to end up as targets and how companies let these idiot bullies into decision making roles. I walked off a project last year because of a bully, and I let every one of the decision makers know exactly what she was doing. I don't know if any good came of it. However, I was fortunate to have other projects going.

"The world's leading forum on tackling bullying is open to all and the aim is to provide validation and re-empowerment for those who have suffered work abuse or bullying anywhere.

The focus is on identifying, exposing and dealing with the serial bully who is often an unrecognised sociopath. We also discuss how bullying, harassment and abuse cause stress and injury to health, including psychiatric injury, trauma and PTSD. Healing and recovery from bullying, harassment and abuse are also discussed. Humour is a feature of the forum, and may be quirky at times." - Tim Field
