Overly dramatic ? Hmm. I consider threatening with violence to be overly stupid. And I wouldn't call breaking a nose "defensive". Sure, I'm not too worried that anyone on this list is going to come by my house and punch me in the face. I was trying to point out the stupidity of threatening with violence when someone says something you don't like. | If you don't like the question someone asks, follow the first rule of | OpenBSD etiquette: Ignore them. Sure, and if you don't like the reactions you get (be they insults or whatever), ignore those too.
