"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"
Edmund Burke


This was the fifth of six anonymous emails received from the same person in the short span of thirty minutes. Consider the time and hateful energy it took to amass this email from the obviously many sources. And then factor in the other five anonymous emails and the time they took. The ANONYMOUS writer of these emails has a real problem. We think it's Sharon Teal-Coray. There is no other logical candidate.

The email appears in its entirity. It has not been edited and nothing has been omitted.

FirstName: Tabbers LastName: Temps comments: New! Serial bully types Attention-Seeker | Wannabe | Guru | Sociopath The profile above covers the most commonly-reported behaviours of serial bullies. From casework I've been able to identify four primary types of serial bully: The Attention-Seeker Motivation: to be the centre of attention Mindset: control freak, manipulation, narcissism Malice: medium to high; when held accountable, very high * emotionally immature * selectively friendly - is sickly sweet to some people, rude and offhand to others, and ignores the rest * is cold and aggressive towards anyone who sees them for what they really are or exposes their strategies for gaining attention * overfriendly with their new target, especially in the initial stages of a new working relationship * overhelpful, ditto * overgenerous, ditto * manipulative of people's perceptions, but in an amateur and childish manner * manipulative with guilt, ditto * sycophantic, fawning, toadying * uses flattery to keep a person in authority on side * everything is a drama, usually a poor-me drama * prefers not to solve problems in own life so that they can be used and re-used for gaining sympathy and attention * capitalises on issues and uses them as a soapbox for gaining attention * exploits others' suffering and grief as a vehicle for gaining attention * misappropriates others' statements, eg anything which can be misconstrued as politically incorrect, for control and attention-seeking * excusitis, makes excuses for everything * shows a lot of indignation, especially when challenged * lots of self-pity * often as miserable as sin, apart from carefully constructed moments of charm when in the act of deceiving * demanding of others * easily provoked * feigns victimhood when held accountable, usually by bursting into tears or claiming they're the one being bullied and harassed * presents as a false victim when outwitted * may feign exclusion, isolation or persecution * malicious * constantly tries and will do almost anything to be in the spotlight * includes Munchausen Syndrome * the focus of their life is to be the centre of attention The Wannabe Motivation: craves respect for being competent and professional despite lacking in competence and professionalism Mindset: deceptive Malice: low to medium; when held accountable, medium to high * similar to the attention-seeker * is one of life's chronic underperformers and is best described as ineffectual in everything * craves undeserved respect and attention and will go to considerable lengths to acquire them * hangs around the fringes of a profession * not professionally qualified but claims they are a professional because they sit next to a professional or work alongside or near or in the midst of professionals, or provide services to professionals * lacks the ability, competence and professionalism to be a qualified professional * wants so much to be seen as competent professional person but is unable and unwilling to put in the work to achieve this * is unable and unwilling to apply knowledge gained from experience but instead devotes time and effort to improving skills of deception, manipulation, false claim, denial and projection * may have been rejected by their chosen profession for lack of competence * is spiteful towards and despises anyone who is qualified in the profession from which the bully has been excluded by virtue of lack of competence * is likely to be vilifying the profession they want to belong to or which they're claiming to be part of or which they are claiming to represent * displays a deep-seated envy and jealousy of the professionals that he or she works alongside or claims to serve * harbours a bitter resentment, grudge, distaste and contempt for the professionals that he or she works alongside or claims to serve * is likely to be criticising, condemning, disadvantaging and causing detriment to the professionals he or she works alongside or claims to serve * may seek positions of power over the professionals he or she works alongside or claims to serve, perhaps to facilitate a compulsion to criticise, condemn, disadvantage and cause detriment * is irresistibly drawn to organisations, roles and positions which offer the wannabe power and control over the professionals s/he despises (eg inspection regimes, approval roles, regulatory bodies, ticksheet compliance schemes, political correctness police, trade union official, etc) - and is often described as a talentless jobsworth * when in a position of power associates with and makes alliances with or surrounds him or herself with clones, drones, minions, fellow wannabes, sycophants and brown-nosers * instinctively objects to any suggestion of change, reform, improvement, progress or evolution, but has no viable or positive alternatives of their own * opposes every idea, suggestion, opinion, contribution or reform on principle but has no original, positive, constructive ideas or contributions of his or her own * is likely to plagiarise and steal others' ideas which are then put forward as their own * may place undue emphasis or reliance on an old, minor or irrelevant qualification to bolster their claim of belonging to or deserving to belong to a profession * may claim ambiguous or misleading or bogus or fraudulent qualifications, associations and experience * displays a superior sense of entitlement because they associate with or serve higher performers * emotionally immature * controlling * easily provoked * when challenged is adept at rewriting history to portray themselves as competent, professional and successful, regardless of multiple witnesses and overwhelming evidence to the contrary * quickly and loudly feigns victimhood when exposed and held accountable, often repeatedly and loudly accusing the person holding them accountable of being a bully * when held accountable makes conflicting and contradictory threats and demands (eg demands apology but orders the other person not to communicate with them) * when held accountable makes lots of loud but empty threats (eg of legal action such as libel, slander, defamation etc) * only carries out threats of legal action when in the presence of a superior serial bully, especially a sociopath type * may indulge their jealousy and envy of professionals or those they claim to serve by pursuing vindictive vendettas, sometimes with the help of a superior serial bully, especially a sociopath type * is easily manipulated and controlled by a superior serial bully * female wannabes may be arch bullies (some people might call them puppetmasters or queen bees) * may surround herself with drones of the opposite sex * may exploit some perceived vulnerability in self to ensure drone loyalty * gives the appearance of loyalty to drones but will discard them when they've served their purpose * is likely to have affairs to gain power, status or position
