[QUOTE="Gayaholic, post: 3183566, member: 96334"] Hi Sam, I think that what you did was fine, maybe just not the best that could theoretically be done... My 'cold light of day' advice - and I'm not even going to pretend that I would take my own advice - would have been after the first incident to (when safe) get on the phone and report it to the Police - now I don't know where you live and police responses to threats of violence vary HUGELY - but given that they threatened to use a knife you might have got a result. It's VERY hard not to face up to threats or intimidation - I know that backing away from trouble is for a lot of us harder than facing it - but I also know that fighting with people you suspect of being druggies is a BAD idea - they may not have any reservations at all about the level of violence that they use. They also could be infected with a variety of things that you would not like to get and a fight always carries the risk of contamination with 'bodily fluids' - namely blood or spit... [/QUOTE]
