You gotta do what you gotta do, Bruce. :-) I don't judge you for it. We all have different personalities and ways of dealing with things.

I've never been inclined to get into fistfights with people, because it's just not in my nature. I only fight if there is really no other option, I don't do it just to feel a sense of moral satisfaction. I will speak up, though. Depends on the situation.

I find that people who basically like fighting are really good at finding opponents who think the same way...specially when they're teenagers. I never liked it in the least. Of course, I was a very small kid, so I wasn't well equipped physically for stuff like that.
