Don’t mess with 70+ guys, they have low tolerance. You never know what kind of a response you will get, especially if they are former service retired. In Florida there are many, and they do have a short fuse. They grew up in a respectful society, and don’t put up with the nonsense of what passes for it today. This is a case of a young hot head vs an old hot head. It could have been avoided, after all, when you go to see a movie you don’t want to listen to phones going off and conversations.
Be professional,
Be polite,
Be prepared to kill every old fart you meet.

Fixed it for you.
