Its okay, people get heated. People also don't get heated, but people THINK that they are. (lack of non-verbal queues on the internet FTW!)
I don't mind your comments. i don't mind that you got mad that you think I advocate using that method to end every confrontation. What I DO mind is that you and many others focus on how to end a confrontation quickly, and
completely ignore the rest of what I said in order to rush to the reply button.
I learned from getting my ass whipped a couple times before that not to fight. Just end it quickly and leave. Don't stick around. If you don't see the opportunity to end it before it begins, then don't get into a fight at all. Yes, there could have been more than a few scraps, but those were when I knew to simply eat my pride and leave because I would have been fucked up bad. You better be really sure you can end it too. I simply got lucky both times.
Nearly exactly what you said, except that I also included what you can do when you
can't just walk away. There are times when you simply can't and trying to do so will get you hurt worse than squaring up and defending yourself.
