Domineering-Bullies are prone to believe that they have-the-right to spend much of the time-of-a-meeting 
of a group of people:

1. Thoroughly defending-themselves against what they perceive to be threats against them personally;
and/or threats against their opinions as individual persons.

2. Thoroughly negating-and-discrediting any other people's contrary-opinions and/or dangerous-opinions
and/or misguided-perspectives.

3. Forcing other people-to-agree with their own opinions, perspectives, points-of-view, unarticulated 
assumptions and premises - - - upon which the self-defensive-person's: logic, reasoning, self-esteem, and 
sense of personal-security depends.

4. Presenting-Justifications for the acceptance of the legitimacy of their own vaguely articulated: opinions,
perspectives, points-of-view and unarticulated assumptions and premises - - - - upon which their logic and 
reasoning might depend.

5. Challenging other-people's-rights to have their own independent-different-personal: perspectives, points-of
view, priorities, and/or coherent clusters of ideals, values, principles and virtues - - - regarding the
augmentation of: communal-and-personal: health, integrities, integrative-processes, open-and-honest-dialogues,
sustainability, balance, mutuality and robustness - - - within changing  Global-Environments within God's 
Astronomically-Tiny and Isolated Space-Ship-Earth - - - with only finite-essential-material-resources to
support earth's  exponentially-growing-population - - - with exponentially-growing-resource-demands - - - 
per-capita-per-year.

6. In focusing primarily upon their own Ego-Centric: Concerns, Fears, Anxieties, Priorities, Needs, Wants,
Agendas, Causes, Virtues, Ideals, Idols, Values, etc. - - - To-the-Exclusion of giving like Favorable-
Consideration to MOST OTHER MEMBERS of the Vast-Crew of God's Space-Ship-Earth.

As Domineering-Bullies decline in influence, power, and wealth - - - due to most people becoming more effective
in Mitigating-Their-Own-Alienative-Conflicts - - -

New kinds of conflicts are sure to evolve due to the strain put upon Domineering-Bullies by the changing tides
of Public-Opinion about HOW MUCH:  

1.  Honor, Respect, Trust, Support and Admiration is properly due to Domineering-Bullies who refuse to work 
Collaboratively in Mitigating their own Alienative-Conflicts within the changing Global Environments on Ocean 
Coasts where Ocean Waters are moving farther and farther inland due to Global-Warming which was augmented by the 
rapid consumption of fossil fuels encouraged by previous generations of Domineering-Bullies.

2.  People should be expected to engage in Gracious ways to facilitate Open-and-Honest-Dialogue within Communal
Sanctuaries built by Healthy-Communities for all who wish to engage in such Open-and-Honest-Dialogues about all 
of their most basic and healthy needs - - - with all other people in those Sanctuaries.

3.  Assistance should be given to people seeking to go through the terrifying processes involved in Letting-Go
of their traditional Grounds-for-Hope in the foundations of the Life-Styles of Domineering-Bullies, Mobbing
Mobsters and other people who are Playing-to-WIN their COLLUSIVE-GAMES-OF-MUTUAL-SELF-DECEPTION.

4.  Assistance should be given to people seeking to understand how the Life-Styles of True-Lovers can make sense 
in terms of: Reliable, Coherent, Mutually-Supportive, Mutually-Complementary and Mutually-Satisfying CLUSTERS-OF-
MUTUALLY-SUPPORTIVE-AND-COHERENT: IDEALS, VALUES, PRINCIPLES, VIRTUES, MOODS, HOPES, AND EXPECTATIONS.
