"Would you consider it civil to call a bully a bully?"

Yes. "Civil" comes from the same root as "civilization" and "civilized." To live in civilization requires more than being nice -- sometimes it is necessary to call a bully a bully. Unchecked, bullies make civilization -- and, indeed, civility itself -- impossible. You posted a quotation from Violette's link about "mature guilt" -- that is exactly what calling a bully a bully is intended to engender.
