You did the right thing. Timbers advice is the worst possible. There's no guarantee you would have beaten the crap out of him. All it would have done is escalate the conflict. Retaliation of kind is never a solution. [/QUOTE]Yorick, that depends on the situation, twice I've stopped assualts on others once by phsyical force once by talking and reasoning. It's a tough call to make, as to when to use force and when not to. You can only do what you can do.
