Not sure on that: 939.48 Self-defense and defense of others. (1) A person is privileged to threaten or intentionally use force against another... |

| This is great advice all around. Just spent the afternoon and part of the evening reading the last 30 or so pages. I came in past where Alex reappeared. I hope he remains engaged here. We absolutely do need more mods. Rather than new rules, we need equitable enforcement of the existing rules. Hopefu... |

So if you use the same username and password here as you do somewhere else that was breached, it'd still show up here. With that said, I'd su... |

| Because they want to get a better idea of whether or not you're worth their time. You can't really know for sure that you're compatible until you meet in person. A lot of people pretend to be someone they're not online, both in the catfishing sense and otherwise... ^ THIS ^ It's best to be wary of ... |
