    No, sorry, but you can't. If you're incapable of standing your own ground intellectually, using words, then there's still no reason to try and use violence, that's just using force to make your point, and this doesn't belong in the real world. It's like when parents justify hitting their children.

    I could understand, perhaps, if you have issues in this area maybe, and are empathising, but it doesn't make it right in anyway. All it means is he lacks the intellect to reason, and uses force instead.

        I was. Why do you think I built my body up to 16 stone? Eventually I returned the favour.
        And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

            Eh? So you attacked people? Talk about hypocrisy. You've not got a leg to stand on now.

                Yep to a point. Then I grew to a decent height and size and stopped taking said crap. Dished some out when provoked. Then generally got left alone after that which suited me down to the ground.

                You are also proving my point along with MTT btw.
