Not a bully, but an educator. I would never act as he has. He nukes a pile of people in response to a RECALLED attack and half of the people he nuked had nothing to do with the recalled attack, they were just in the same alliance.
He was trying to bullying our whole alliance over a recalled attack. We just sent a reply to his bad attitude, poor judgement and bad behavior.
I respect you and all other players who have a moral code and act respectfully to others. I normally would never give such a lesson, but he needs to learn that it is better to behave reasonably and be respectful of others.
We would not act that way with anyone without extreme cause, but are reacting to his actions and PM's.
I know you and your alliance would never act the way he did. You and your alliance are much better than that and are pretty much the cream of the crop.
When attacked we send a PM or probe in return. When we lose a fleet we generally congratulate the victor. We do not nuke a large number of people for an attack which was recalled.
