Judging by the relays, it is still going on. With his friends this time. Some of those people are I think masters at convoluting things to their 'advantage' so I would like to write about my perspective on the matter.

First, whatever Douglas relayed to them was missing a crucial piece. That we hugged and gave each other a pat on the back. That we shoot hands. That we reconciled.

Second, even without that information, his friends never once *asked me a question directly, or choose to hear my side of the story. Rather, they were yelling an ultimatum of what went on or commented indirectly on what has happened as if I wasn't there, but clearly talking about me. Heckling is what I would describe the momentary shouts. Persistent talks about it for 10-15 minutes, would be described as passive aggression, and if there were displays of anger, be it indirect, that would be called harassment. All this is categorized as bullying because of one single missing factor: That I wasn't spoken to one on one. To hear my say.

As I mentioned, on my complaint, Douglas finally said something, not long before the fight.
But that wasn't enough. There were still hecklers present. So I told him to say in detail, everything that went on. He refuted angrily, in frustration and left the room again.

I went downstairs to talk about this. Trying to discuss, with every facts spoken, as much as I remember. I was never in the realm of violence. I was willing to talk/discuss. He wouldn't have it. Interrupted my speak, and showed this aggression/challenged me to 'take it outside'.

Understand that I had every right to finally talk about this. On the suspicion that Douglas did not make his explanation fair. Every detail must go out there in order for fair understanding.
And he, if he had better intent, would not result to physicality, but would result to, if he disagrees, a discussion. As we have attempted in the room.

In order to save his image to his peers, he challenged this, and I have absolutely suggested what was fair as well. A shot for shot, taking turns. If he so wanted to get physical and let out steam. This was denied, and while being aware of my wear, he went to the violent route of subjugation. Not an exchange, fully intending serious harm.

What must be figured out, was his prior intent as well. That despite the reconciliation, if it was in the realm of violence, or if he has previous history of this. Then that would *also explain what he is.

And people there can try and convolute this to their advantage somehow. If there is any advantage to speak of. But from my end, and from the people observing this as well, it should be clear. It was simply a case of authoritative subjugation by use of violence, despite being a topic where it need not be.
