I'm not sure what you mean by "cry bully" at this point.


I'd define 'CryBully" as the general pattern of "you should hurt this person because I'm sympathetic and I say they hurt me". Literal crying, claiming harassment and getting someone removed from a conference when no harassment happened in retaliation for a speaker disinvitation would qualify as crybullying in my book.



A crybaby who's a bully. Someone who pretends/exaggerates harm to oneself in order to accuse and punish others.
