Default Re: [OT] poll on inappropriate behavior

Well, I'm from Gryphin's generation, and when I was still young enough to seem a likely target for youthful posturing and aggression, a sucker punch was when someone came up and nailed you one without warning or provocation, or blindsided you. There was always a difference between a shove that said "You're a jerk," and one that said "F-off and die." The response depended on the circumstances, and whether there was any history of "bad blood" between them.
