Sure there are other times I've been in fights where you're able to know you've done enough and walk away or stop, but there are also times when instinctual revenge/rage plays a huge role in the loss of 'control' 
It all depends on how it starts |
It's been over a decade (almost two) since I've HAD to fight.
How this specific event started was with a half-punch half-elbow shove. Had I been on the receiving end of that... I've have laughed, asked if that was all they had, and squared up again just in case. The 'aggressor' obviously wanted no part of the other guy (and for good reason - apparently) or he'd have followed up the shove.
Honestly - I'm secure enough in my masculinity to allow someone a single shove without trying to kill them.
