Was I right for defending my beliefs or should I have walked away? I guess that's something YOU have to decide for yourself and trying to tell ANYONE what they should or shouldn't do in a situation like this is just idiotic. You can say whatever you want but every situation is different. What if the OP had a knife and the guy didn't knock him out? What if the OP then stabbed the guy in defense and he died? Is that worth standing up for your "beliefs" when the whole thing could have been avoided?

MK1 I get what your trying to say but your preaching to people about something YOU feel strongly about. Society, if it functioned as you were saying, in a "fight or flight" way would end up in Chaos with everyone fighting over the smallest thing. Sometimes you gotta learn to walk away REGARDLESS of the situation.

Berz out.
