Considering what Gabrielle is capable of she's actually taken it easy on Naomi. Even with a divine weapon Naomi was no match for her.

Yes she constantly irritates her, but she's never gone so far as to twist her arm behind her back until she say oncle.

No she isn't. And bullying is not only physical.

After all, far too many folk were driven to suicide over emotional and verbal bullying.

Just because it's a different form of bullying, doesn't make it "less bad".

Plus Gabby doesn't seem like the wet willy type anyway.

Remember, we know that the siren who flirted with Dusty has a body count. Dave has said that vampires have "accidents." We know Hell-trained succubi kill routinely. We still haven't seen that ratboy Chloe "ate."

Unles "pounding" has a different meaning these days, you definitely don't do it gently.

We've already gone over this: sitcom sibling antics. Yet, you're still treating a comical situation seriously.

Sure, but we don't know how many of the drowning victims Marine was actually responsible for. Tiff never specified and she didn't ask. It could've been the work of more than one siren, and it's possible that some of the drownings had nothing to do with her. Swimming accidents aren't unheard of.

I never assume anything simply because Tiffany does, because in most cases, her assumptions are exactly that. And not surprisingly, she's usually wrong.

sad thing about "sitcoms" is not how the "show itself" is viewed. Is that many people will see what happens in those sitcoms as "examples and guides" of how to behave. Just like Gary was using porn as a guide on how to "eventually" treat women before Zii straightened him about the facts of porn. many people think they should be like the Sheen character in 2 and the half men, or like Al Bundy.

And yet, according to Teddy, they had never hit him. So either these bullies thought that they were hitting Teddy (but actually kept missing), or "pounding" doesn't mean "hit" in this context. It could well include the stuffing-Teddy-in-a-locker "prank", for example.

At worst Gabrielle is just like Abby kicking her sibling antagonism up a notch.

You don't pound someone by shoving them, that's two different things. Pounding usually means hitting. The jock says they pounded him, Teddy says they didn't. So either that jock doesn't know the meaning of the word, or one of 'em is lying, 'cuz their statements contradict each other.

notice the "pounding the floor while chasing him"

we also got the "he was pounding her last night to her satisfaction with his huge member"

you have decided to narrow the meaning of pound to the thing you feel it can be "the only meaning", you basically "Pounding the word to just one specific meaning" ;)

@wiseguy: First: the jock said they pounded Teddi, not the floor.

Second: look at the first definition you linked to and the one immediately under it. That's the most common usage of the the word. To try to make it anything else is reaching, especially in the context that the jock used it.

Regardless, you can't ignore that Teddy himself stated that the boys never hit him.

Unless you are saying the girls hit him so hard that they made him forget about it, though that would still prove their beat down is far worse than anything the boys did.

We've already gone over this: sitcom sibling antics. Yet, you're still treating a comical situation seriously.

Nah, that's just your poor excuse. Especially since no siblings act this way. Plus you know, Gabby isn't her sister. Not that this shot would be OK if they were, because it isn't. You realize that people have been arrested for abusing their siblings in real life, right?

And it is serious. You're the one that is trying to make light of bullying and it's victims.

the problem is not what is implied what they said "in itself" (without having Teddi's statement )

it is that we got Teddi's statement which leads to only conclusions that either the "pounding the jocks said" IS NOT what is usually envisioned or poor Teddi had such a huge concussion that he forgot he was brutally hit physically ( unlikely )

2 COMPLETELY conflicting perspectives can't be true

we can get relative perspectives like a guy from Anchorage would say Denver is hot during December while the guy from Arizona would say Denver is real cold that same day of December.

In any case, as the victim in both scenarios, i'm thinking he'd.

He has no reason to lie about that, especially since him mentioning that the boys never hit him was inner monolog. There would not be any point for him to lie about that.

In any case, they didn't seem to go as far as the girls did.

Not at all, since Abbey hasn't hurt Teddy and her intent isn't to abuse him psychologically.

More importantly, she's shown to care for her brother and she's a child, Gabby is young woman, she's supposed to know better.

So that excuse doesn't work.

Or that jock means something completely different from what you do, and since he was there, I trust he knows what he did. Without Teddi's thoughts telling us that the boys had never hit him, your argument would be reasonable. With it, though, your conclusion is impossible.

Cortez wrote:Regardless, you can't ignore that Teddy himself stated that the boys never hit him.

Which is why I said their statements contradict each other.

It'd be like someone bragging that they torched some other guy's house, but the alleged victim says it never happened. They both can't be telling the truth, 'cuz either it happened or it didn't.

Cortez wrote:Nah, that's just your poor excuse. Especially since no siblings act this way.

Dexter and his sister, Didi, say "hi". So do Ross and his sister, Monica. Or Doug and Judith Funny, who didn't get along with each other 'til Disney took over the series and aged them up. Or how 'bout Linus Van Pelt and his sister, Lucy?

So yes, you're determined to take a comical situation seriously.

What abuse? Name one thing Gabrielle's done to Naomi that she can be arrested for.
