A good and welcome discussion. For those interested, workplace bullying is pretty established field of research within management studies. Considering what factors have been identified as driving and enabling it's pretty clear why academia is ripe ground for this. The "irony" of its practice in settings where the same people at the same time do research on marginalization etc are part of either enforcing this praxis or even participating in it, which is perhaps something more particular for our context. some references of interest Salin, Denise.
