Don't you mean "categorize"? Why do you "describe" an individual according
to _any_ one aspect _you_ might observe? This is precisely the problem I had
with my medical care. Each specialist narrowly defined my problems in terms
of _their_ understanding ( their specialty ). To _categorize_ an individual
as _a_ coercer alone is ludicrous. To say that we practice _coercion_ is
more accurate. But coercers also practice "love", and "tenderness", and
"gruffness" and bunches of other controlled variables.  "Describing"
individuals by a single CV is a dangerous practice.

What does it mean to be a "bully", in PCT terms? I think you will find words
alone insufficient to represent this interactive process.
