    Well the fact you think "girly" is an insult makes me think you're actually a bloke.

    Surprising.

    I've had it happen to me - a spotty "yoof" with his girlfriend and some pals thought he was being tough. I asked nicely first time (for him to stop). Second time I asked him how easy he would find it to leave the cinema with broken legs ... he stopped. ;)

    I guess I also have "violence issues". ;)

    Well no because you didn't use violence.....

    Are you sure you know what violence is?

    So the threat of violence rather than the actual fact (which I would have been prepared to carry out) means I DON'T have "violence issues"? Cool! :)

    If you were the type of person that would actually break a persons legs because he was kicking your chair then you're obviously mental.

    However you didn't in fact use violence. You used a threat of violence which is a completely different thing!

    No point in threatening anything, unless you are willing and able to carry out the threat.

    A couple of people clapped who had seen the whole thing from the start, some told me to sit down, his GF left with him, I didn't have to wrestle him or drag him, just loosely take hold of his arm drop my weight a bit and keep him of balance as I walked him out the door.

    Edited to add both me and him were at the aisle end of our row, I was in the last row forward before the walkway bit.

    Edited again to add -someone repeatedly deliberately kicking your chair is not trivial, it is unacceptable and causes discomfort. I can only assume you have never experienced it.

    I have to ask......was it a scottish cinema/were you born and/or raised in scotland? And the reason I'm asking is because in my experience, Scots tend to have a "no nonsense" attitude when it comes to certain things, people acting like fannies being one of them.
