serene56: I tend to react to unnerving situations with humour but if someone was coming at me with a machete it might be a different story
Humour is the key if you face a machete blow their head off, I've been watching too many movies.

Last few people that threatened me, ended up going to the police because they feared the likely outcome.

People making threats seem very scared of actually fighting.

Lunabeam: Are you filled with fear and give in, or does it make you angry that someone has the gall to think they can get their way by threatening you.? What if they have the power to harm you?
I'd tell them I'm a witch and they'd better watch out even and especially after I'm dead!!! grin

There're two ways humans respond to danger: fight or flight.
I'm rather in the group that fights. Tucking tail and running just isn't me.

The problem with tucking tail and running is that now you're known as someone who'd rather not defend himself and by doing so you multiply the jerks that'd come after you for BS reasons just because they know you'd run. Next thing you know they take your lunch, you money and then your girlfriend.

When you stand up for yourself and fight, it lets everybody know that if they want your lunch/money/girlfriend then they're going to lose feathers in the process and even come out of it beat.

Never run. Call their bluff and if they're not bluffing then at least you still have your dignity intact.

That has never happened to me in real life, but it did happen a couple of times on the internet. I left the site (if it was public) or blocked the person (if our communication was private). It was mostly either someone's hurt ego or some (for me) unexplainable animosity.
