Oops posted too soon!
Posted recently about df's (friend) ex bu about child support money.
On the back of this, last night her and her new bf were messaging him the whole evening saying some really offensive, nasty stuff about him (and about me incidentally but I'm not bothered about that).
Most of it revolved around his looks for some unknown reason. He has ginger hair so you can imagine some of the insults hurled in his direction.
I can only assume that they are unhappy about the outcome of the child support conversation so are now taking the opportunity to be as spiteful and horrible as possible.
Wibu to stick up for him? Not to engage in a slanging match but just say something along the lines of 'I think it's really childish that you've resorted to taking the piss out of df's looks because you're annoyed with him. The grown up thing to do would be to talk to him about why you're unhappy and try to resolve it rather than making personal insults'.
I know it's none of my business (well, it kind of is since they were also slagging me off) but I just want them to know that I have his back so to speak. I think sometimes bullies pick on certain people because they think no one will call them out on their behaviour and I just want to show them that this is not the case.
Wibu? What would be the best response or should I just leave it?
