If you have real examples of scientists bullying scientists, let me know. Bullying is horrible and should not be condoned.
Anyway, there's tons of ppl/accounts on twitter documenting bigotry, bullying and abuse in science. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you.

Yes, thanks. I'm mainly thinking about when criticizing someone's work can be defined as bullying. Any thoughts on that?

That's case by case — criticism is vital but can also be used as a weapon to undermine and demean.

For example, I have seen famous professor make a person cry at a conf by using their prestige and calling them names during poster session.

They basically created a group of people around the poster while X and X's postdoc shouted her down until she broke down.
