If you b*tch-slap enough people enough times where enough people can 
see it, pretty soon no one comes near you. And that's safe. It's a 
motivation, even if it's not a conscious one. {Been there, done that, 
got a drawer full of t-shirts. Finally gave them all to charity and 
got a life. Still retain the *ability* to haul off and deliver that 
old b*tch-slap, though; now use it with the awareness (mostly!) that 
it is a defense and has, like everything else, a proper time and 
place.}

Why is Snape now on my mind...

P.S. The "intelligence" referred to in "Intelligence is the best 
defense" is *military* intelligence, as in: the more you know about 
your enemy, the better you will be at defending yourself. But it 
works any way you look at it.
