2 post in a row sad but im doing it anyway!

If we are going to get into violence and its negatives then lets do it. I really detest low life scums that hit kids, calling it discipline. I really h8 people who start fights, the damage they can do meaningfully or inadvertently can be life changing/ending but to defend those around you is the pretext for society and is the reason for society funded police, army, navy etc. If you have never needed to stop someone from hurting a loved one then all this would seem odd I guess, then all you need to do is stand in front of your window instead of a mirror.

I'm not sure he was entirely serious about joyfully throwing drunks out of pubs, at least not with regard to any sort of physical violence. Sometimes throwing a drunk out of a pub can be quite a friendly experience. Guide him to the door, maybe call him a cab, and explain to him why he should be on his way home to get some sleep; "Have a good night Mr. Johnson; see you next Tuesday. :)" ...

Would you say that you have "joyfully thrown out a drunken idiot in a very physical sort of way that only he seems to understand" after you guided Mr. Johnson to the door?

Alone the statement of "only they seem to understand" tells me that he chooses force over talk to come to an understanding. Or why did it only "seem" to him? Either the drunk did or did not not understand. If he was too drunk to listen then there is no need for any kind of physical force. Such drunks are funny and you might want to get them a chair before they hurt themselves. Should other drugs be involved then you also do not make an advance, but call the police.

The statement of "in a very physical sort of way" is BS. You either block the way for the drunk not to go further and thereby guide him out or you start advancing onto the person, get physical and are thereby commit an assault. OP uses a vague description here for what exactly he did and for a good reason. I doubt he is angel and he did get very physical as he says.

Why do you assume the opposite? Because you believe to share the same profession? There are good and there are bad bouncers.

dude, your not very bright. You just commented on "in a physical sort of way" stating you should "physically"? block someone from doing something or w/e? Or were you "thinking" of blocking someone from hurting someone else?? In some neighborhoods you would be on the ground bleeding or unconscious while someone else is beating up your wife before your thoughts stopped coalescing. To go through something like that and see the accusation in her eyes "why didnt you save me". It happens every day somewhere on this planet and it is very unjust and scars people emotionally and physically. Why would you not defend when you can, im "thinking" there is a word "coward" that fits.

No, you are not very bright. What do you call "very physical"? I would call a punch to the head as being very physical.

Why do you not tell us what you did?

Making ASSumptions of yourself/others isn't a constructive way to live. My assumption is you have been "very physically" ejected from a bar for either grabbing someones private parts or for kicking a dwarf or w/e and therefor have attached that experience to me and my writings because its eating you up inside. This assumption stuff is fun!!

So far do I know that you attack people, because you h8 them and you do it in the name of love. You excuse it with others being criminals and murders. You want to be forgiven for it, which I did, and you do not have the courage to just tell us what you did.

Do you throw sucker punches at people? Is this what you do?

I'm interested to, for the sake of this discussion. For my part, 'very physical' means anything that involves physically holding a person, wrestling with them, or restraining them in a situation where you and they are not sparring, playing, or just horsing around. Punching someone in the head is just violent and goes beyond standard physical force.

I would consider what I did in that bar to be very physical. It required a great deal of effort and I still have scars on my forearm-today-from the post that I was using to pin the guy. I never punched him, and despite several attempts to hit me with his elbow, I never got hit either. I talked him down after the other guy had gone outside, until he was calm enough to let him go, then he went back to his seat and I went outside to make sure the other guy got on his way and went home without any more trouble.

I was never employed to do anything else, and calling the police over some guy asking if you know where he can get some coke is ludicrous. Not just because there was no possession involved, but because it would have pissed off my employer. Most people don't run a business to kick out the people spending money or disrupt their place of business with police arresting their patrons or questioning them because the owner or staff decided to call them over something like that.

To be specific, I was only really there to keep situations from getting worse and to prevent them from escalating further and calm things down.

Actually no and the best way I can explain the way I see and deal with those around me is this, I really h8 abortion but its not my choice. In fact instead of beating up the pregnant women like your are infuring I would because I h8 abortion....get this....I, like many other people, would defend that woman against anyone while she was at the abortion clinic. Why? Because my choice is mine alone and I understand enough of this world to know people have the right to their own choices but sometimes the only way they get to make their choice is if the people around them defend their right to choose.

It is not what I am talking about. Drunks are one thing, but someone on crack or glue/gas can be less predictable. It is not very difficult to move faster than a drunk and cut off his path and thereby guide him to the exit. Move too many times and they get angry... However, this is hardly physical. You do it to keep eye contact and to keep talking sense into them. People on other stuff are quite the hell and you better call the police, because this can end with scars. Why go there when you know it will only end in a fight? Only getting them somehow through the door also does not stop them from trashing cars or attacking people outside on the street, which is why you should call the police in some cases.

No disagreement. Fortunately, my experience was back before any of that was really common. I never had to deal with it in that environment, and only now have to deal with it on the streets. Preferably through avoidance. The police might pop by for a visit if you call them, but they never really find them or arrest them for any reason.

Even the ones that attack people or the like rarely get caught until later. Most often, even later they are still walking around, and the court systems are letting people out and dismissing charges because they are backlogged and eliminating cases that they don't feel they have time for.

I know what you're saying though.

The weak will always try to make the strong feel guilty for using their abilities. It is the only weapon they have against something greater than them. In EVE the question often comes up why do you shoot people who do not want to be shot at. What does it matter what another player wants? You even say it yourself; stop concerning yourself with how they play. They do not actually care if you do nothing but mine, they simply enjoy killing you. You are unable to stop them through any means of your ability, and so you call upon the weapon you have, the power of persuasion to convince something greater to help something lesser.

Just play and have fun, personally the fact that others can stop my fun is what makes the fun in this game so rewarding. If you do not like that others do that you should play on Sisi or another single player / non competitive MMO. c:

Kietay, the unjust will try to find words that belittle anothers endeavors be that part about week making strong feel guilty or w/e.
If it did not matter what another player wants then there would be no pvp at all considering "a player" includes all styles of play. Everyone has the same ability give or take some small variation in the time it takes to learn the ability in question so saying some particular person has no ability is just you trying to big note a 1 sided view point and not the reality that "carebears" have a care factor of 0 when it comes to pvp. If it wasnt that way and everyone was fully pvp orientated then there would only be ships/mods/rigs made by npc's available for wars and the fact that I am explaining the obvious only shows I am bored and not that you have said anything momentous.

Everyone does not have the same ability, this is why you see many people dying many times over while others build empires and intricate systems of control. This however is a game and you are not required to put in more effort than you find enjoyable. So my real point still stands.

If you are going to ask them to stop worrying about how others play, you should do the same. It does not matter if you do not like the fact that they enjoy killing you, that is their way to play the game and how they have fun. If you wish to stop them within the confines of the game please do so with your ability.

Although I am sure if you were able to you would have, you are not. So instead you rely on the tactic that all others who do not wish to earn the right to do anything. They ask for it from those of greater ability, trying to use faulty reasoning and guilt to get what they want.

Again, it does not matter at all how much ability you have in EVE, it is just a game. But do not use it as an excuse to try to extort some kind of guilt response from those who use greater effort to achieve more.

You get soo close to seeing the truth Big smile you use the word ability and enjoyable etc but completely miss how they are connected. People who pvp find it enjoyable and hone their abilities because of it. People who do not enjoy pvp do not hone that skill they hone other abilities. The point is if someone enjoys something they try to get better at it and the only difference between each player is their level of enjoyment and the time it takes them to learn. So if anyone wanted to pvp they would have the same or similar abilties, each battle is a learning curve, each battle has the chance to be different with new ways to learn for everyone but we ALL learn and learn faster if we ENJOY what we are learning...duh.

So, "very physical" means what?


Mr whitehound the laws were such that "very physical" meant exactly that. You can not start a fight or be overly intoxicated and be allowed to remain on the premises. So the way you are removed is through hiring specific people with a respectable set of skills and the way those particular people are required by law to remove unruly patrons from there is by using as much force as is necessary e.g. standing next to them asking politely for them to leave, escalating to a hand at their elbow or shoulder repeating politely for them to leave, escalating to applying guided physical pressure to give them the idea its not a request, escalating to pushing them towards the door while holding onto them firmly, escalating to bodily picking the person up or dragging them kicking and screaming. The idea is the law dictates what we can or can not do period. Lastly I did enjoy throwing some people out because doing so meant everyone else could relax and enjoy themselves while the drunken idiots get to be drunken and idiotic some where else.

Oops forgot to add if the patron that is being physically ejected (being physical by the warranted escalation) decides that even though we are legally required and funnily enough specifically there to do that very thing if needed, sometimes they decide to save face they need to beat on the bouncer. Now if it was known that that bouncer did not defend himself then the visual deterrent he used to be ceased being and leaves the door open for more unruly behavior then already being dealt with o.0

Your truth. She has got her own.

Seeing how you dodge my question about what you mean with "very physical" and how you only want others to see your truth, but are not interested in accepting theirs, can I say with good certainty that you are trolling in your own thread. Unless of course you do start telling us the truth.

And no, citing the law what you can and can not do does not tell me what you really did. All I know is that you enjoyed doing it.

Please forgive me for what I type next lol.

For too many years I have joyfully thrown drunk idiots out of pubs, defended anyone/everyone from bullies in a very physical sort of way that only they seem to understand. But why the @#$% would I want to spend my time at home relaxing and give people grief in an online game??? Somehow it seems idiotic dealing with very real physical violence day in and day out then want to do it in any unreal sort of way to relax.


I can't be bothered to "grief" people most of the time, but it's kind of like seeing someone get hit in the nuts. It's funny every single time.

No one wants to get hit in the nuts, ever. Everyone laugh when someone else takes a shot to the balls, even you. Do you want to kick someone in the nuts? Probably not. Do you still laugh when it happens, yes.

That's why people greif.

Edit: Since it's a game no one is getting hurt, so all the better.

I plan on living forever.......so far, so good.

I don't laugh when I see someone get kicked in the nuts. I don't know a lot of people that wouldn't though, so far as I am aware anyway.
