Exclusion

Friday, March 31st, 2006

Friends and Readers. As you know we at PiltonSucks.com are running an anti workplace bullying campaign, particularly in our community of Greater Pilton. We have as you know been highlighting the Muirhouse Social Work Centre criminal justice bully,who as you know has escaped justice for a long time, but we will continue to monitor his movements and unacceptable behaviour, as he tries to hide behind his managers skirts, the coward that he is.

All bullies are cowards and look to hide where ever possible as you will know if you have read the articles we have posted, we hope the Muirhouse bully has read them and realises his days of bullying are numbered.   So bully boy if you read this and all the rest of the posts, know that you can run but you cannot hide, you will be caught and punnished for your sins, and there are many of them.

Our source within the department, will she says, watch him like a hawk whenever possible, and she will not be deceived by his smarmy, crawling, tactics, and she has also told us that she has recruited another two whistleblowers to inform of bullying tactics. We have and continue to ask for an enquiry into the Muirhouse Social Work Centre criminal justice team and why they have not had the courage to report the bully when his behaviour has resulted in so much heartache.

He should be excluded from having anything to do with managing people as he is clearly incapable of any kind of people skills and it is clear to every body except his managers that he is a lowlife who feeds on misery other peoples of course.

We once again ask anybody who has suffered at his hands to come forward and contribute to this vile little mans demise. We already have a source at Shrubhill, the social work headquarters and we add to this our source within Muirhouse Social Work Centre.

So beware bully boy we are closer than you think, watch over your shoulder every time you think of misbehaving, because you are being watched, and reported on. Oh and while we are at it do not think you are invisible or bullet proof you are neither,ask John Simpson - remember him, he remembers you, oh yes we know about him to.

Traitors

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

Friends and readers. If rumours are correct, there are three Labour councillors about to cross the floor of the city chambers, talk about rats leaving the sinking ship. If these rumours are indeed correct then these individuals are nothing but back stabbing traitors. They were elected on the party ticket and gladly accepted the votes of the punters, now as the party disintegrates before their eyes they cannot abandon ship quick enough.

A rabble, between running away and cutting each others throats over the new boundaries, the needs of the punters are forgotton about, so that is one of the reasons they are so keen on community councils, they can prop up their power base in the mainly working class areas.

PiltonSucks.com has already said it is time to end the ruling party’s iron grip on this community and elect those who would not be slaves to a party machine, but offer a new type of local politics, where the community actually sets the agenda and is not just the victim of it.

Manners cost nothing

Sunday, March 26th, 2006

Friends and readers. It has come to the attention of PiltonSucks.com as it probably has to many other residents about the present development in Crewe Road North. As you will know we have a large elderly population in and around the Crewes, and it has become apparent that they are having difficulty getting to the shops.

So some of our associates at PiltonSucks.com took it upon themselves, [by the way, this is something the NEN should be doing but have failed to do yet again  Also our local councillor should be involved but almost certainly is not] to ask the contracters what they were doing and how long it would take.  

I have to report to you that we got less than a satisfactory reply.  We also asked how long the post box would be out of action again nobody knew or cared. We when on to ask when the bus stop would be replaced in its original spot, we were told on this occasion to take it up with the council.

Now as one of our contributers commented recently that we were a lot of moaners, do not you think sir, that the your friends in the NEN should be reporting on these local matters or is it not important enough for them, or their buddies on the council.  We could maybe ask Dave ‘wannabee councillor’ Pickering why he has not reported on this matter as it is right outside the office door, or is it a case  of as long as it is not in my street comrade.

The residents put up with an awful lot and seem only to willing to put up with it.  Perhaps if there was a local forum where they could take there complaints to we might hear more of what was going on instead of the deafening silence we continue to get. Oh of course we have our new sanitised community council ready to take up the peoples cause as long as the ruling party says it can.

Thank goodness there are a couple of people on the Royston/Wardieburn community council that are not family or friends of Elizabeth Maginnis, we may see daylight there, or maybe not - watch this space !

Denial- The Bully denies everything

Sunday, March 26th, 2006

[a] Variations include trivialization [this is so trivial it is not worth talking about] and the fresh start tactic [I do not know why you are so intent on dwelling on the past and look what is past is past, i will overlook your behaviour and we will start afresh] - this is an abdication of responsibility by the bully and an attempt to divert and distract attention by using false conciliation. Imagine if this line of defence were available to all criminals. This could do wonders for prison overcrowding.

[b] RETALIATION; THE BULLY COUNTER ATTACKS. The bully quickly and seamlessly follows the denial with an aggressive COUNTER-ATTACK of counter-criticism or counter-allegation, often based on distortion or fabrication.  LYING, DECEPTION, DUPLICITY, HYPOCRISY and BLAME are the hallmarks of this stage.

The purpose is to avoid answering the question and thus avoid accepting responsibilty for their behaviour. Often the target is tempted or coerced-into giving another long explanation to prove the bullys allegation false; by the time the explanation is complete, everybody has forgotten the original question.

Both a and b are delivered with aggression in the guise of assertiveness; in fact there is no assertiveness [which is about recognising and respecting the rights of oneself and others] at all. Note that explanation- of the original question - is conspicuous by its absence.

[c] FEIGNING VICTIMHOOD: In the unlikely event of denial and counter-attack being insufficient the bully FEIGNS VICTIMHOOD or FEIGNS PERSECUTION by manipulating people through their emotions, especially guilt. This commonly takes the form of bursting into tears, which most people cannot handle. Variations include indulgent self-pity, feigning INDIGNATION pretending to be DEVASTATED, claiming they are the one being bullied or harassed, claiming to be deeply offended, melodrama martyrdom [if it was not for me] and a poor-me drama [you do not know how hard it is for me….blah blah blah… and I am the one who always has to… you think you are having a hard time…I am the one being bullied]

Other tactics include manipulating peoples perceptions to portray themselves as the injured party and the target as the villain of the piece. 

A further advantage of the denial/counter-attack/feigning victimhood strategy is that it acts as a provocation. the target who may have taken months to reach this stage, sees their tormenter GETTING AWAY WITH IT [as seems for the time being with the MUIRHOUSE SOCIAL WORK CENTRE BULLY] and is provoked into an angry and emotional outburst after which the bully says simply, There I told you he was like that.  We would urge the MUIRHOUSE TWO to refrain however tempting that may sound into any kind of emotional outburst, that is exactly what the MUIRHOUSE SOCIAL WORK CENTRE BULLY wants.

Anger is one of the mechanisms by which bullies [and all abusers] control their targets. By tapping in to and obtaining an inappropriate release of pent-up anger the bully plays their master stroke and casts their victim as villain.   

Projection

Sunday, March 26th, 2006

Friends and readers. Bullies project their inadequacies, shortcomings, behaviours etc on to other people to avoid facing up to their inadequacy and doing something about it and to distract and divert attention away from themselves and their inadequacies.

Projection is achieved through BLAME, CRITICISM, AND ALLEGATION, once you realise this, every CRITICISM, ALLEGATION, etc thay the bully makes about their target is actually an admission or revelation about themselves.

This knowledge can be used to perceive the bully’s own misdemeanours, for instance when the bully makes allegations of say, negative attitude, it is the bully who has a negative attitude. In these circumstances the bully has to understand that if specious and insubstantive allegations are made, THE BULLY SHOULD ALSO BE INVESTIGATED.

When the symptoms of psychiatric injury become apparent to others as in the case of one of the MUIRHOUSE TWO most bullies will play the mental health trap claiming their target is mentally ill or mentally unstable or has a mental health problem.  It is more likely that this allegation is a projection of the bullys own mental health problems. If this trap is being used on you,  and  we have every reason to suspect it is or will be used on one or both of THE MUIRHOUSE TWO -assert projection as a defence against disciplinary action or as a part of your legal proceedings.

Reflection

Sunday, March 26th, 2006

Friends and readers. Serial bullies harbour a particular hatred of anyone who can articulate their behaviour profile, either verbally or in writing, in a manner which helps other people see through their deception and their mask of deceit. The usual instinctive responce is to launch a bitter personal attack on the persons credentials, lack of qualifications, and right to talk about personality disorders, psychopathic personality etc, whilst preserving their right to talk about any thing they choose - all the while adding nothing to the debate themselves.

Validty of Testimony

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

Friends and readers. Because of the serial bullys Jekyll and Hyde nature, complusive lying, charm and plausibility THE VALIDITY OF THIS PERSONS TESTIMONY CANNOT BE RELIED ON IN DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS, APPEAL HEARINGS AND UNDER OATH AT TRIBUNAL AND IN COURT.

Mediation with this type of individual is inappropriate. Serial bullies such as THE MUIRHOUSE BULLY regard mediation [and arbitration, conciliation, negotiation etc] as appeasement, which they ruthlessly exploit, it allows them to give the impression in public that they are negotiating and being conciliatory, whilst in private they continue the bullying. The lesson of the twentieth century is that YOU DO NOT APPEASE AGGRESSORS.

The Real Criminal

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

Friends and readers. Some criminals [bullies] are smooth rather than contentious, ingratiating rather than surly, devious rather than intimidating. They pretend to be interested in what others say, appearing to invite suggestions, they inwardly dismiss each idea without considering its merits.

They seem to take criticism in stride but ignore it and spitefully make mental note of who the critic was.  They misuse authority and betray trust but are not blatant about doing so.  With the criminal [bully] at the helm, employee morale deteriorates - just ask the MUIRHOUSE TWO - AND THE OTHERS HE HAS GOTTEN RID OF.

His method of operation sooner or later discourages others from proposing innovative ideas and developing creative solutions.

 

Power Over People

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

Friends and readers the serial bully is able to exert a hold over people for a variety of reasons

Targets are disempowered such that they become dependent on the bully to allow them to get through each day without their life being made hell,as in the case of the victims of the MUIRHOUSE BULLY.

The serial bully is often able to bewitch an emotionally needy colleague into supporting them as in the case of the MUIRHOUSE BULLY’S assistant. This person then becomes the bullys spokesperson and advocate. How people can be so easily and repeatedly taken in by the bullys glib charm, Jekyll and Hyde nature and constant lying is a mystery. Psychopaths are especially adept at conning people in this manner.

The serial bully such as the MUIRHOUSE BULLY is an adult on the outside but a child on the inside, he in this case is like a child who has never grown up. One suspects that the bully is emotionally retarded and has a level of emotional development equivalent to a five-year-old or less.

The bully wants to enjoy the benifits of living in the adult world, but is unable and unwilling to accept the responsibilities that go with enjoying the benefits ot the adult world. In short, the bully has never learnt to accept responsibilty for their behaviour.

 

The serial Bully

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

ALL CRUELTY SPRINGS FROM WEAKNESS [SENECA-4BC-AD65]

It is estimated one person in thirty, male or female is a serial bully. Who does the following profile describe in your life.

The serial bully is a convincing, practised liar and when called to account, will make up anything spontaneously to fit their needs at that moment, has a JEKYLL AND HYDE NATURE, is vile, vicious and vindictive in private, but innocent and charming in front of witnesses, no-one can[or wants to]believe this individual has a vindictive nature-only the current target of the serial bullys aggression sees both sides, whilst the Jekyll side is described as charming and convincing enough to deceive personnel, management and a tribunal, the hyde side is frequently described as EVIL, hyde is the real person, Jekyll is an act.

Excels at DECEPTION and should never be underestimated in their capacity to deceive.-uses excessive CHARM and is always plausible and convincing when peers, superiors or others are present, is GLIB SHALLOW AND SUPERFICIAL with plenty of fine words and lots of form - but there is no substance. Is possessed of an EXCEPTIONAL VERBAL FACILITY and will outmanoeuvre most people on verbal interaction, especially at times of conflict.

Is often described as SMOOTH, SLIPPERY, SLIMY, INGRATIATING, FAWNING, TOADYING, OBSEQUIOUS, SYCOPHANTIC. Is convinced of their SUPERIOITY and has an OVERBEARING BELIEF IN THEIR QUALITIES OF LEADERSHIP but cannot distinguish between leadership [maturity, decisiveness, assertiveness, co-operation, trust, integrity] and bullying[immaturity, impulsiveness, agression, manipulation, distrust, deceitfulness]

KNOWS THE WORDS BUT NOT THE SONG - sometimes DISPLAYES A SEEMINGLY LIMITLESS DEMONIC ENERGY especially when engaged in attention-seeking activities or evasion of accountability and is often a COMMITTEEAHOLIC or apparent WORKAHOLIC.

The serial bully appears to lack insight into his or her behaviour and seems to be oblivious to the crassness and inappropriateness thereof, however it is more likely that the bully knows what they are doing but elects to switch off the moral and ethical considerations by which normal people are bound.

If the bully knows what they are doing they are responsible for their behaviour and thus liable for its consequences to other people. If the bully does not know what they are doing they should be suspended from duty on the grounds of diminished responsibilty and the provisions of the mental health act should apply,

This Friends and readers will be to those that read this and have suffered bullying, as in our own community the MUIRHOUSE TWO will recognise the person we are describing.  The MUIRHOUSE BULLY is not alone there are more of these horrible people out there only to willing to flex their vileness on to other unsuspecting victims. Pilton Sucks.Com is actively fighting workplace bullying, we are at the moment working to bring the MUIRHOUSE BULLY to justice, and we will, with the help of others who are of a similar mind.

We must rid our communitys of bullies for they offer nothing but pain for those who choose to cross them -just ask THE MUIRHOUSE TWO. We will continue to chase the MUIRHOUSE BULLY and force him out into the open and then Social Work Management will have to take action.
