    random street violence was never a worry. It was far more personal

    Story checks out.

    Random praise from a stranger is as personally meaningless as random criticism.

    Depends on what they're saying, right?

    I am in no way belittling any sort of actual violence toward anyone, for any reason.

    Can't go along with this nonsense. Don't be shy about it. That's exactly what you're doing. In the exact terms you're doing it. You've reduced hate crime like the murder of Matthew Sheperd to how unfair it is being held to account for expressing your 'patriotism' on the train ride home. Don't back away from that now.

    My words, even if they bring offense or you disagree with them, being called "violence" is likely to cause me to point and laugh.

    Nobody said you'd committed violence. Does that disappoint you?

    when it was time to go, go quick and dirty

    Quick doesn't have to mean dirty.

    I have one fight left in me

    And you're going to make that decision based on a serious misunderstanding of what hate crime is. Got it.

      I could tell you some stories.

      Not at all. Random praise make me think you want something. I have a pretty good handle on my vices and virtues, so random criticism is just noise and isn't going to hurt my fee fees.

      I'm not being clear. Or are you being obtuse?

      Actually, the special kid who accused me of a microagression did. He actually reported me to some stupid student council for my two word reply, and I had to appear to "justify my actions". That was actually kind of fun, I read them the text of the first amendment.

      Quick doesn't have to mean dirty.

      It does when your opponent is 9 inches taller, has about a foot of reach, outweighs you by 40 pounds and has intent to harm. The quicker you finish, the fewer licks you're gonna take.

      Hardly, it would be more of a forlorn hope. In self defense or defense of a loved one.
