- In fact, it is not. Neither I, nor anyone else that I would call my
- "chum", would ever assault any individual with a threat of violence
- such as this for _ANY_ reason. (Of course, "self defense" falls
- outside this usage of assault, but then "self-defense is hardly what
- is being described above.)

- Alas, certainly not the post you are looking for, because it doesn't
- exist. (Now there was an account posted [about 4 years ago] of an
- incident involving homosexuals and a tire iron, but I certainly never
- committed the crime mentioned above.)
