Pretty much to confirm/add to what Bill said:

Absolutely on the "no lone FReep" rule. I might have been a skeptic at one point, but I'm a believer now.

Yes, the "gentleman" in question was not one of the more stellar upstanding members of Rochester society, such as it is. I attributed his belligerance to that typically provided by liquid courage. Fortunately, I was not similarly empowered, so when said product of the liberal mindset decided he wanted to practice the "open-minded tolerance" of the typical leftist by getting <1' from my face, calling me "coward", "faggot", threatening to knock me on my ass, etc., rather than raise my voice I simply decided to stand my ground and as calmly as I could ask him to move along.

It took him a few requests, but he got the message. I'm not one to brag (outside a poker table after a few pops, anyway) but I do think I handled myself fairly well. Now, had he taken a shot at me, I would have of course defended myself, but I was of course hoping it wouldn't come to that and that our young DU reject would sober up just long enough to realize that his plan was not a wise one.

I guess if I'm annoyed by anything it's the peacenik commies who did nothing to discourage his behavior and at one point seemed to get a neat little kick out of the whole situation. Ah, hypocrisy once again raises its ugly head.

Oh, and Bill--the bartender is married, damn the bad luck. I also found out our little miscreant had to get 86'd out of there as well. He was on a real roll last night, so it would seem. At least the cops showed up there.
