    The buggers keep coming back eh? Have you tried moving house?

    I've only been in one proper fight where someone attacked me outside a club. It was a one-sided affair as he was a lot bigger than me. Other than that I've stepped in to break up fights - successfully.

    That's not trolling. That's just abuse, albeit fairly witty and erudite (considering).

    I'm with Falstaff on this one. "Discretion is the better part of valour, for which better part I am still alive".

    If you are attacked, the first priority is to get away from danger as soon as possible. If that means legging it immediately, then so be it. If the only way I get myself out of danger is to flatten my opponent, then I'll do my best to do that, and then run away.

    If the attacker thinks that I'm a coward, then that's his problem - I don't get my sense of self worth from lowlifes who pick fights. I've been in potentially violent situations. I've always managed to talk my way out of it, and then made myself scarce as quickly as possible.
    I am glad I have low rep, its a compliment considering the people that post here, excluding a few.

    So I have a different opinion, how is that trolling?
