5 Beloved Scientists Who Were Actually Bullies

Wow how I hate Thomas Edison. He was a major asshole to Tesla. If I was born during that time I would have bitch slapped Mr. Edison to the moon.
 
Most people tend to be jerks. It just depends on what social factors and environment they are in.
For example, how many really nice people become complete jerks when behind the wheel driving on the road?
How many caring and giving people become complete jerks to their employees when they are in a lead position?
How many members here become jerks when an opportunity to put someone else down or how they force opinions..etc in various threads?

So the article didn't surprise me in the least.

Meh, bullying was the norm in their era.

Kind of like saying how Jefferson was "evil" for owning slaves. duh, as if he lived in an era of racial equality hahahaha.. He wasn't even a hypocrite technically since black people then simply didn't count and didn't matter.

Reminds me of the episode of SG:A where McKay is being picked on by other scientist since he doesn't publish.
