I'm not sure what your point is. It is completely orthogonal to mine. In the same vein, no, you aren't responsible for other people's choices, and yes, rabid dogs (or people who act like them) are unlikely to listen to reason. Neither of those are good reasons to start fights, and that statement neither says that all fights are avoidable or that one mustn't defend oneself.
