I think the difference between people who say, "I'd whip their ass over words" and some of the ones who cry foul over that mindset may be the levels of violence the average person experiences or have witnessed in real life. Real violence is dangerous and damaging. Seriously. I've seen too many egos turn to such violence that someone's life was irreversibly altered. Many times even when it wasn't intended to go that far.

The "whip their ass to protect ______ honor" mentality was imported into the deep south with Irish and Scott immigrants--those parts of Britain that were still uneducated, ungoverned and uncivilized. They were remnants of violent societies where human life held little worth. That kind of culture has long sense been rightly discarded where the American south imported it from, while the American south has segments that still revel in advertising their lack of education, rational thinking or ability to respond in better ways.

Nothing wrong with getting the Bible and preaching love. There are ways to handle it without putting violence in front of the camera. He could have pointed at him and said we will handle it after this is over then someone carrying a whipping. To me it was all about publicity. That bunch is so far away from reality it is hard to relate to them for me.

I purchased Chameleon. Not had a chance to read it yet. I've got 3 books ahead of yours. I probably read a new book once a week.

I will neither confirm nor deny that this may or may not have happened at the Governors in Chattanooga in the summer of 91 🤫 but it sure as hell wasn't over a petty joke...a drunk fool grabbed my ex-wifes boob while she was getting a couple of drinks.

Can't argue with that, but what would you do if some random dude walked up to you at a gas pump and bitch slapped you for pulling in to the lane before him?

Well thats a much different scenario and would probably have to be a rather large imposing dude to think he could get away with it. So I would sweep the leg Cobra Kai style and then stick the gas nozzle where it didn't belong.

Unrelated, but @bignewt if you ever need a good voice actor for future audiobooks let me know. I know a few, have worked with one guy on a few things now and he's great. (used to be in radio too, so has a strong narrator voice)

So far they have been assigned to the project by the publisher. I have a new one that is in the process of being published now so I will keep that in mind.

That's a very profitable place to take the debate.

With my background, I'd have to assume something much worse was intended as follow-up. Knowing that I was surprised, off-balance and vulnerable to someone who's shown themselves to be violent, I would more than likely strike with everything I had at the most vulnerable parts of the assailant and keep doing so until the person was completely incapacitated. I would be legally (and I believe ethically) excused for having done so.

Now, with that as the potential result for a good old fashion "I'll whip their ass because my wife's honor is so fragile" argument--the chance that it escalates between the two to literally mortal combat--is it really worth it to revel in the Antebellum South's stupid redneck ethos?

I'm guessing you ain't from around here (RFFT threads), are ya? You've already said something that the regulars in here know is extremely offensive and insensitive, if you knew his story. And your reply above shows that you don't know much about what he portrays of himself in this forum.
