I made a comment about one rather undignified exchange between two high-ranking officials. What made you think that there is any demand in it, or that this non-existent demand somehow involves VICTIMS of bullying (I can only assume that you found at least two victims in this two-way exchange), or how you got an impression that I have appointed myself to be guardian of anything, or that a higher moral ground is an imagined concept, is beyond me.

As far as I know, two lawmakers comparing sizes never saved a single democracy.
