Hey thanks!

Some of the kindest, gentlest people I know are people you wouldn't want to tangle with. (Meaning 'you' in the general sense, not you personally!) Seriously, if you met them in a dark alley you'd probably turn around. Scary people and they really could rip your head right off! My grandfather was a DI in the Marines. Sweetest man you could ever meet. But don't piss him off!

They are physically and mentally strong, they just hold back because they know they could really hurt you and they would rather not. The mean people in this world I think are cowards. As you say, afraid to look weak, because inside they know they are.
