It is an important, general point that staying "neutral" when seeing a bullying situation is actually tantamount to siding with the bully.

The hard part is deciding who's the bully, since both sides invariably claim (as they did in this case) that they're the one being bullied. Neutrality isn't a claim that bullying is acceptable, just that you don't have the time to figure out who's the real bully or whether the person being bullied deserves it.

I mean, when one of them admits to bullying just for the sake of pissing the other party off, I feel like we can determine who the real bully is.
