Why is it hard to believe that people can and do stand up for themselves? Not everyone has been a victim of bullying (general statement, not directed at you DF).
My point was middle school to adulthood, retaliating isn't an option for everyone and doesn't always scare off bullies...it can sometimes make the situation worse. My personal opinion is to avoid violence unless it's directly in self defense from physical bodily harm.

Sometimes, you have to do what you have to do *shrugs*

I don't think adults should be threatening to whoop someone's ass, but if it comes down to it -- so be it.

Each to his own. My main point was that it isn't always that simple.

No. Unlike Alumiyum and knight_shadow, you think you can both initiate and end a back-and-forth; and you haven't learned that you can only control when you stop typing.
