Well first of all i will try to talk to him in personal and ell him not to call me names as it emberrese me a lot. But if he dosent stop then u just be mean and start calling him by even the wierdest name u have heard of. LET HIM TASTE HIS OWN MEDICINE

I don't know if I have it in me to turn and call people names ..I don't like it done to me and it would seem hyprocritical to turn and do to another what I dislike myself..but I will consider the suggestion adn see if my conscience would allow me to do this..thank you .it's a good idea but wondering how ethical it is?

then we have to show our dislike to him thru our behavious, expression,etc.... if it is your co-worker, say to him directly that u dont like wt he is doing..u have the right to do that..

I do say it sometimes to the person who speaks down to me; but, they simply tell me I need to toughen up..Perhaps they think it's their mission in life to make me tougher and so they think by tearing me apart, belittling me etc this is how it's to be done.

I don't know for sure how I would handle that. I have pretty tough skin so to speak. I prefer nice friends. lol I actually like to be called out because most of my decisions are made with facts and I have a good chuckle when it blows up in someone's face when they call me out. I think that is mean huh? lol
