I had been staying outta trouble for quite some time and I was proud of it. Then the other night out the front of this bar I frequent, I was standing outside to get some fresh air when this guy who I had apparently had beef with comes up to me and pulls a shank on me. M defense mechanisms kicked in straight away and I punched this guy in the face and luckily he went down. But me being stupid and drunk, I didn't leave it at that, I gave him a kick in the face as I was very annoyed with him resorting to a knife. A few people saw this and most understood my anger, But other people were on the net the next day posting threads saying I'm a cheap ass for giving him the kick while he was on the ground. He pulled a friggin knife on me!! Of course I don't want him getting back up. Anyways, I ended up getting banned from the venue for life and now have this bullshit reputation over my head again after working so hard to reverse it.
