How peculiarly absurd, not to mention borderline illegal, can be suggesting that "A person who reacts well to interaction with a bully might come away with a new friend" What about with a rapist or any other CRIMINAL. Frankly, a very unfortunate comment. Correction: appalling.

I don't mean that you stay friends with them if they keep abusing you. Just that a person's positive response to soft abuse can sometimes end the abuse and lead to a positive relationship.
