I believe the context counts, and the previous
interaction between him and I. Despite accepting
the match, I had thought I could dismantle it to
an extent, not escalate to a serious one.
Thus my suggestions, and to my surprise, it was
refused. Then how mad was this person, and
to have fully used my wear (balance) issue against me,
even after having spoken about it just prior.
This was violence aimed at subjugation.
So I was quite surprised at that.
The worst I imagined was a 'shot for shot' as I say.
And I had thought he would agree as well.
It was safe, and fair. And both of us would have
let out 'steam'.
In the end, I believe that he aimed for violence.
It is no coincidence that these actions surfaced.
