Overly dramatic ? Hmm. I consider threatening with violence to be
overly stupid. And I wouldn't call breaking a nose "defensive".
Sure, I'm not too worried that anyone on this list is going to come by
my house and punch me in the face. I was trying to point out the
stupidity of threatening with violence when someone says something you
don't like.
For some people I would go through the pain of going to their house and
punch them in the face or stab them with a fork, given this project was
followed by volunteers ;-)
