Some people legitimately deserve taking an ass whooping.
Those people are murders, rapists, child diddlers, etc... not drunk assholes in bars or whatever.
That being said, I've definitely told people that if their actions continued/if they ever did that to me, they would be taking a beating. So far, no one has been willing to go further than that with me. When you say things like that, you do also have to be willing to back them up and/or deal with the consequences of your actions.
You really need to pick your battles. Pride or being a tough guy is not important. Most of the fights I've seen as an adult are just two pricks that didn't want to back down in front of their peeps so they end up half-heartedly shoving until someone breaks it up.
