Um ... whatever happened to being able to speak your mind without having
someone beat your butt over it? Just because I have a few choice words for
you, that does not give you the right to smack me upside the head. Don't
try to make that sound like it was Ben's fault. The other guy didn't
retaliate in kind, he escalated the confrontation .. that's just not
excusable.
Of course, next time you say something someone doesn't like, I guess it's ok
if they track you down and pelt you to death with muffins ... seeing as how
you asked for it and all by daring to argue with them ..

| Ben,
|
| So from within the perceived safety of the inside of your car, you decided
| to use what might have in a court of law been considered fighting words,
but
| when your target took you up on the offer you didn't fight back and he
beat
| your ass? Then you were still so afraid of him that you wouldn't even
take
| it to court (even though you would have most likely lost)? And on top of
| all that, you call yourself "innocent?" Didn't you throw the first
"punch"
| with your mouth?
|
| Do I have this right, Ben? Please correct me where I am wrong. I just
want
| to get the facts straight.
|
| Respectfully,
