I don't think this is true at all. I have no problems with the fight itself, it's all of the other consequences it opens me up to. Besides the risk of jail time, there's also the potential loss of my livelihood. Recognizing that if being "bullied" is just words and as good as it would make me feel to shut someone up by knocking his eyes crossed, someone's words should never provoke you to the point where you are putting your life, livlihood or assets at risk. Now if someone puts their hands on you, all of that goes out the window. If you initiate a confrontation by putting your hands on me, I will respond using an appropriate level of force.

I agree with every bit of this.
