I would say that the indvidual needs to watch many hours of either Oprah or Dr Phil, so he can get in touch with his inner self. And talk to him in a kind and pleasant manner. And if none of this works, then refer to a previous post and run his ass over with a 72 Buick Electra 225. 5200 pounds of real American iron. That should put him in touch with his inner self and the pavement at the same time

I agree with Jim H. There are so many variables to consider, it's hard to give a blanket" I would do this " statement. I will say, to quote Richard Marcianko of "Rogue Warrior" fame, "God help the man who puts his hand on me in anger."

Based on the vast collective wisdom on this forum, I think I've been able to construct a pretty solid Combat Scenario for this particular situation. It goes like this:

The attacker is in your face, yelling, cussing and poking at you.

You respond verbally by saying "Excellent job - now try it with more emotion..." and then charge him $85 for the "session".

You then immediately follow up with a kiss on the nose and a quick sucker punch to the jaw. Continue by ripping out his windpipe and tearing off his balls (which are then stuffed into attacker's mouth for a choke).

Finish your attacker by running him over with a 72 Buick Electra, then pee your pants and run away squealing like a little girl (i.e. a typical tactical retreat).

It doesn't get any more hardcore than that... 

Joking aside - as some people have already pointed out, there are just too many variables here. Depending on the situation, I'd do anything from saying "I'm sorry..." to chopping his head off with a bolo... 

Give us a more specific and detailed scenario and I think people will come up with a lot better solutions.

Some were left to be creative on their own but at your request I went back and reposted the question.
A little more detail. The rest hopefully people can use their imagination.

How do you all deal with this situation?
I know how I would. But I want to create discussion and get feedback!

You cut a guy off on the road. You didnt mean to but your life depended on it.

But the guy you cut off didnt know that....

He follows you to a gas station, You didnt see him follow you.....Gets out of his car and..
"He is in your face he is yelling and cussing at you and poking at you". Yelling at you as to why you cut him off.

Whats your response? Remember your suppose to diffuse it!
 

Defuse. Hands up in a "Feigned Compliance" position.

If he touches me once with that finger...I will continue to defuse (hey...he's just pissed, not Hannibal Lector). If he touches me twice...that finger is now mine, and I'm gonna do something nasty to it.

....then I'm gonna get in Arnold's Buick........

Now THAT'S Entertainment!!!!!      Top Marks!!!

I these situations i would go with geoff thompsons material. Since it is not a potentially lethal situation i would do pretty much the same as milldog: hands up, saying:"Why are you picking on me? i don't want no trouble...." an if he touches me twice- BAM!
But it all depends: are there friends of the attacker near by? is he "armed" (beer bottle or other...)? can i talk my way out of this?
if you ask me: drawing a weapon is the very, very, very, very last of my options- or should be

I'm laughing so had everyone in the Library is looking at me wondering what's so funny??     OUTSTANDING!!
And after that you could claim insanity in court and no one would argue with you. LOL

[EpicThought]

Considering the basic nature of the question I would say for me it is fairly easy to give a basic answer to my beginning steps.

As soon as I noticed him, whether it be a few steps from me or when he started poking me I would move off his line of attack and assume the interview stance.  From this point I would be in a position to defend my self while I try to deescalate the situation or interrupt his OODA loop.

From this point the situation would either escalate or deescalate.  If things got to the point where I could morally, legally and ethically justify violence then I would have to decide what level of violence is warranted and with what tools. 

Once this is decided the next step would depend on specifics of the situation.  Distance between us, our positions in relation to my car and other parts of the environment.  Depending on what he says or does I could do anythings from pepper spray his eyes and drive away to stopping the threat with a firearm.

Hope this is what you were looking for!!
