I'm passing middle-aging, rapidly, and the physical skills needed to hand-to-hand effectively are also passing. It's part of life. But, another part of life is attitude. I do my best to determine not to back down. If I'm wrong, I'll accept responsibility and do my best to make amends. However, I don't respond well to threats. I believe wrong has to be resisted and there is no place for bullies in this world. You go, dude. Kick ass if you need to. Make them understand that intimidation is a tool for the weak because the strong will not put up with it. BTW, I carry an asshole-repellent with me at all times. Most of the time I also have more effective methods for self-defense as well, but those are reserved for the most dire circumstances. 'Nuff said...

You qualify as the former. Which is another reason I would never fight you. The first reason is I would lose. Fast.

You qualify as the former. Which is another reason I would never fight you. The first reason is I would lose.
