Basically keep your distance - make yourself small and non-threatening and remove yourself from the situation. Under no circumstance go all hairy chested and macho and 'size up' to the roo which will only provoke the situation. Of course if an actual attack does take place by all means fight like a b*st*rd  but try and remove yourself  ASAP.Chosun    :gh:</blockquote>
