I went to college with this guy 10 years ago and I considered him a friend up until this year. Something changed in him, and he constantly needs to put me down and I don’t know how to handle it....
Frankly? This sort of response above is unhinged. If this person is as awful as you say, just get them out of your life and move on. Trying to document everything, calling their friends and family, spending this much time on someone who is awful and not worth the time nor the effort? You’re going to drive yourself crazy and somehow they’re still going to be in your life making you miserable.
I’m sorry this person is terrible to you, but the best “vengeance” is forgetting all about them and being happy doing what you want to do. The more space they take up in your mind, the worse you’re going to feel about the whole situation.
Only if they politick like humans do. Perhaps elves don’t think politics makes any sort of sense and instead defer to ancient kingships á la Tolkien. No elf is creating intrigue around Galadriel or Elrond, they are just as they are, and are revered for their ancient wisdom.
Or perhaps the idea of hierarchy itself is completely alien to them. After a few thousand years a lot of the trappings of mortal power may just not be of any interest anymore, and every elf is a sovereign unto themselves.
TOKYO, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Japan on Sunday marked the 78th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing on Hiroshima, where its mayor urged the abolition of nuclear weapons and called the Group of Seven leaders' notion of nuclear deterrence a "folly".
By and large, I would say this is not true. Ask any random folks who Pinochet and the Chicago Boys were, or ask about MKULTRA or COINTELPRO, or Operation Cóndor, and the best you’re likely to get is a blank stare.
I think a most of the more terrible things the US has done is known by highly educated folks who were given the opportunities to learn them on specialized education tracks, but not by most folks on average, which really sucks =/
How should I handle an ex friend who feels like he needs to bully me to raise his own self esteem? (We're adults)

Is there a title (Mr/Ms/Mrs) that is gender neutral?
Let’s say there’s someone I want to call Mr/Ms/Mrs [Name], but I don’t know their gender, is there a title I can use that doesn’t assume their gender?
