"A devout Quaker or Mennonite wouldn't engage in fistfighting over girlfriends, either. I wonder if this machito makes a habit of principled nonresistence in his personal life? (/sarcasm)"
My father was a quaker and, supposedly a pacifist but I know dang well if you took his cigars and tv (for football) away from him you'd pay dearly with a beating....:)
I guess in his case pacifist meant he would pass his fist into your face if you pissed him off enough....:)
It's a lot of work to live nonviolence consistently. Not many so-called "peace" activitists seem to manage it.
