Re: My forum pet peeve: "I never got in a fight - the ultimate self-defense!"
The premise is a bit of a strawman -- not that, I'm sure, there aren't people for whom the subject of conflict avoidance and deescalation is only a conversational dodge to avoid close scrutiny of ineffective techniques. Who knows, maybe there are a gazillion such people. But when you start a discussion by asserting that this behavior is prevalent on "these forums", you might be due for a little uncomfortable scrutiny yourself.
