Would you "Friend" a childhood bully?

[Ghoulish Delight]

I've friended a handful of people that might have been considered bullies to me. But I suppose it helped that in the years since high school I've kept in contact with several high school friends and we used to have yearly mini-renuions where I saw some of them. And in doing so realized how utterly meaningless many of the reasons I hated those people were in hindsight.

It probably also helps that I think my life since school has been pretty awesome and I don't deny taking a certain pleasure in letting the people who spent a lot of energy trying to make me feel small and worthless know that they failed and that I'm doing pretty damned well, tyvm.

Of course, there were a couple people that, having encountered them out of high school as adults, I still didn't friend because as I adults I find them as, or more, unfriend-worthy.
