Vic, you left out stipulation of 'credible threat' in your question! UNIVERSAL libertarianism prohibits a person from initiation, or credible threat of initiation, of physical force against the physical body or justly held possessions of a non-consenting innocent person.
To get a more complete answer to your question you're going to have to be more complete in your parameter stipulations. But for now, one is entitled to 'browbeeat & bully' anyone *IF* done sans 'truce' violation; like, consensual bondage/s&m, ward off threatening gangsters, employee too lazy to get another job, and so on.
