Re: Pulling weapon to diffuse a road rage scenario?

Here's something that's been bothering me since I first read your OP that hasn't been addressed. Maybe all this could have been avoided by having a different attitude. Before we have the details of the event transpired, your example's beginning has a bad start from my perspective. First, you didn't NEED to get on the highway, although you may have wanted to get on. Second, he didn't NEED to move. You may have wanted him to let you on/in, but that's something else all together. A different approach/attitude from the start might have had entirely different results.

Sometimes it's not what you say, but how you say it and how it's perceived that generates a particular response, either good or bad.

To answer your orginal question in a straight forward manner, might not have given you the answer that you NEEDED. Sometimes you need to address the root problem and not just a symptom of a bigger issue.

I'm reminded of my grandfather telling to me, you sure can catch a lot more fly with honey than vinagar... :tiphat:

Also, please remember that a forum is a give and take environment. We must be willing to spend time and help others if we plan to gain help ourselves...
