Why should you rule that if somebody is harassed successfully as the point of most bullies/harassers is to get a rise out of the other person, they get punished?

That depends on whether you think Shizzle was bullying Woelfy to get a rise out of him. I do not.

My personal opinion is that the case should have ended without a verdict like previous cases where both parties were satisfied. Basically my preference is for the verdict to be revoked without their being one at all. Woelfy thought Sky was one of his harassers and overreacted due to his harassment, Sky understood that later on and clarified, Woelfy apologized, Sky accepted it, then the Magistrates said !@#$ precedent we are doing a verdict anyways.

We did a verdict so there would be a precedent, and I think we'll try to avoid verdict-less cases in the future.
