I am not pretending it away, but I will also not claim responsibility for another person's instability. There is a big difference between not being a pacifist and feeling the need to respond to every provocation to the point where you freely admit needing others to keep you from escalating the situation out of control. Differentiate yourself all you want, but that's exactly the kind of cowboy attitude, for lack of a better phrase, that got us where we are today.
