Obviously this is based on experience. The only thing worse was, the guy offered that 'we can always discuss it outside...' thing - and when I accepted, he suddenly lost confidence and hasn't spoken since... loser - seriously, dont threaten violence if you're not going to carry it through.

Whether it's valid or not I don't know, but to say I'm 'peeved' would be an understatement....

Dude, I have always found that the guy who wants to discuss things 'outside' is usually a chickensh*t who never expects anyone to accept. And you're right; most people talk to hear themselves make noise out of that hole in front of their heads. They don't care about your opinion. Like I always say, the most important skill that you can ever learn is how to listen. That will take you farther than anything else.

On the plus side, every time you see that guy just make a quick and sudden move towards him and watch him flinch. I love doing that. If you do it enough times, you turn that into a nice, Pavlovian response. Every time he sees you coming, he'll flinch. Maybe you can get him to scream and run away.... :D
