The problem with saying they need to be taught a lesson is that the best fighter always wins and that is a different argument.
Now, I just had bad driver yell obscenities at me and upset my wife. I wasn't kilted and I'm pretty sure he was the same skin as me. It would have been nice to have a discussion on driving rules with him but, he sounded like he would have opted for the other argument and we never would have got to the driving one.

I heard a story about my son, which I've posted before, which made me very proud of him. I heard it from a witness. He was challenged and his response was, "No, you really want to have a cup of tea with me, let's go over there and have some." He repeated that to every comment and insult. After a while, he did have a cup of tea with the guy. (The whole story is on a thread somewhere else here.)
