TM, I have to say it, I agree 100% with Hollohas... and it's more than one post. The general consensus I get from some of the responses on this is there are two groups- the group that gives the OP a "pat on the back" (it's ok, you can chuckle a bit) for his actions, and the group that says "OH MY GOD! YOU TOUCHED HIM!? He had every right to hit you, keep your hands to yourself!" What is this? Kindergarten? If a friendly gesture of just touching someone warrants violence then I'd say we are surrounded by psychos! I wouldn't throw a punch if I got a bit peeved at someone and they patted me and laughed. I might ask them not to touch me, but I wouldn't take a swing at them, c'mon, a little ridiculous. If physical contact is enough to warrant a fight then I should have had at least 60 fights in just the last few days, because I've touched, bumped into and put my hands on at least 2x that many. Not one of them tried to fight me, no one got angry, and I certainly didn't "provoke" anything. So let's all fucking stop with this pansy attitude where we should all keep inside our own personal bubbles and never touch anyone at all costs for fear of "instigating" something.... jeez, I thought you all would be a little thicker skinned.
