(15,124 posts)profanity and actually smiled at the yahoo can be conflated with a "bar fight".
I do not "enjoy" these constant confrontations. Similar incidents---some worse---have occurred when I had grandchildren with me. If your solution is to hide my political views---no caps, tees, bumper stickers or LTE's---what country do we live in? Refusing to run away is not the same as looking for trouble and it is anything but a pastime or hobby.
If your use of the term "good story" is meant to imply that I made this up, all I can say is that you can choose what you believe, but I told it as it happened.
I have no need to "reassure" myself of anything and if my wearing a political tee shirt "provokes" someone to assault me with profanity, THEY have a problem, not me.
Finally, thank you for closing with the waving smiley face. But for that, believe it or not, I would have felt badly about apparently offending a DU regular whose opinions I respect.
