Quanda/Kugetsu- while in principle the whole 'verbal beating' thing is a lovely idea and if it comes off is terribly amusing, in my experience they'll still hit you. You obviously haven't been in conflicts with the proper violent types. Lucky you.
Everyone reacts differently, but most people won't strike. If done the right way, verbal attacks are more damaging than any physical attack. Now in the case that anyone did throw a punch, I know how to fight back.
As I've been in many arguements, there's a good chance that many of them were violent people.

Exactly. Talking doesn't solve much. A few punches is so much better. But it's usually the violent types that start talking to you.
If someone just goes into an all out brawl, to me, they are comparable to their attacker. Unless the attacker is about twice as strong as the person they are attacking and that person's life is on the line, there's no point of just fighting. Both parties end up losing anyway and it just makes them both look like fools which proves absolutely nothing, unless of course, it was a complete upset. In that sense, fighting solves nothing and makes both parties look like idiots that can't control their tempers. That's exactly what I see when two people start throwing punches out of nowhere.
Few people care about who wins a fight (unless someone is bouncing heads off of lockers and water fountains, among other things), it's forgotten the next day or the day after. From my experience, it's the talking that's remembered, by both the attacker and the spectator.
Can't say that a violent person has ever approached me out of nowhere, only to fight me. There is usually a reason for them doing so.
