I believe the best response to a bully is to ignore them if you can. Sometimes it isn't possible. They love to drag you into their world of ridicule, harassment and mockery. And they are most likely better and for sure willing to spend more time on it. If one does feel it necessary to confront a bully, do so calmly and with intelligence. They hate that. And move on. They will try to drag you down. If one lashes back, one loses. I offer this advice for free and it's worth every cent. I don't always follow said advice but I try.
Also, there is the old saying that one should never wrestle a pig in mud, yatta, yatta, yatta....
