Matt, I can't tell you how pleased I am you posted that.
Excellent work.
Billy, if some random guy came up to me and started in with the honor-defiling, I'd expect you to do something about it. THAT SAID, you do not necessarily need to break out the gunplay to both make me feel appreciated and solve the problem appropriately.
Once I was at a party with a guy I was seeing and one of his pledges started in with things he shouldn't have been saying. The guy told the pledge to cool it, took me over to a group of girls and said he'd be right back.
He told me later what he'd said to the pledge, and I was glad I wasn't around. He handled the situation well, made it clear what the problem was and what he expected to happen in the future, and did it all without throwing a punch.
What a turn on. Too bad he still had a thing for his ex-girlfriend.
