Sigh... Maureen, you just made my point about "twisting words." I would never hit a woman just because I "felt threatened by" her NO MATTER HOW INSIGNIFICANT THE THREAT.
I would only resort to physical violence if she attacked me physically in such a manner as to present a danger of significant harm, such as stabbing me, trying to shoot me, or attempting to cave in my skull with a baseball bat. At that point, she's asking for whatever I have to give to stop the threat. Does that not make sense in terms of self-defense? On 9/10/2014 5:06 PM, Maureen wrote: > I am not distorting anything.
