It's not that people are still attacking. Nobody is.
They attacked in the first place. Then denied that it was an attack.
They're wrong. It was an attack. It was a mob. They were bullying. The only person who I will accept tell me it wasn't bullying is Matt Taylor.
Here's wikipedia's page on mobbing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobbing)
In the book MOBBING: Emotional Abuse in the American Workplace, the authors identify mobbing as a particular type of bullying that is not as apparent as most, defining it as "...an emotional assault. It begins when an individual becomes the target of disrespectful and harmful behavior. Through innuendo, rumors, and public discrediting, a hostile environment is created in which one individual gathers others to willingly, or unwillingly, participate in continuous malevolent actions to force a person out of the workplace."
Aside from him not actually being forced out of the workplace, which parts of this don't apply?
