The following is a verbatim transcript of a PM chat message between two colleagues, named Cookie and Caprice.
Cookie: In our schools, bullying victims are not protected, and the bullies manipulate everyone so that the victims feel ashamed, powerless, guilty, and leave!
Caprice: That's why, from my perspective, one needs powerful methods of self-healing.
Cookie: Yes. I wonder how I can help my student. I try, and I've been doing some reading. But I also find that my own issues as a bullied child and teenager may make me inadequate.
Caprice: When I was bullied in TBC, did I leave voluntarily or was I shown the door?
Cookie: You were sort of persona non grata.
Caprice: After I was declared unwelcome there, what did I commence to do for the next two weeks?
Cookie: A most fantastic show production.
Caprice: Why did I undertake that project?
Cookie: To resolve the conflict and heal everyone.
Caprice: Who was healed most? Who was healed least?
Cookie: Those who took part were healed most.
Caprice: And those who stood by, non-participating in the healing process, what became of them?
Cookie: This, I am not sure.
Caprice: Consider the following ...
What if you or I took this brief conversation, starting from where I mentioned TBC above, and reposted it verbatim (or slightly edited as necessary) in the discussion thread on Chimera?
Cookie: Excellent!
Caprice: OK. I'm gonna take our dialogue, plug in Cookie for you (and maybe Barsoom or Caprice for me) and repost it, perhaps with some light editing for clarity and continuity.
Cookie: Okay.
