This will be the final post on this thread. First, I never said
Assuming (that is) that I am "The Wise One". I don't know if I am wise or just practical in my thinking. I do have years and years of experience in dealing with Jamaicans in one to one instances. I try not to provoke a fight with a Jamaican nor will I run from one either. And that, by the way, also includes a tourist. If I am attacked by anyone, I will defend myself.Not to resist your attacker
I only get upset if I am misquoted. Twice in this thread (and actually more than twice) I have been misquoted. Once by "selectively" quoting something I posted which materially changed the answer and I only pointed that out because I wanted to make absolutely certain I was "completely" understood as to what I was saying.
And now somebody attributed me saying something that I did not say at all. I don't know how else to answer for something I never ever said. I challenge anyone to quote where I said "Not to resist your attacker".
Perhaps, when someone takes a police report of an alleged crime, they can be fast and loose with the facts. That is something that I can't ascribe to anyone so you have to look inside your own motives. But, I can read and I can reason and if that makes me the "wise one" then I will accept that nickname and wear it proudly. Conversely, if you can't point out where I said "Not to resist your attacker" then you will have to accept the "dumb one" as a nickname or something similar in meaning.
I have too much good work to do to worry about what some "whatever the proper nickname" person says or thinks.
I just will move on to more constructive things.
I can't even sign this with my usual "Peace and Guidance" as I recognize likkle of either.
Nuff Said.
