No, I did not and I have rich experience in that area.

I much prefer argument (rhetoric, not histrionics). That's 
not always possible, as with an agitated woman with a diaper 
wrapped around her head screaming at me in a foreign 
language in our showroom. Meh. That incident said more about 
her than me.

I did lose the glass in our front door twice, shattered 
across the Israeli flag. Never filed a police report because 
there was no possible resolution.

I had my epiphany in 1976 when I read in the Trib about the 
Nazis being denied a parade permit in Skokie, home of many 
Shoah survivors. Over a few days cogitation, I concluded the 
best counter to bad ideas is to publicize them. I still 
think such jerks should not be prohibited but rather 
encouraged to pass out their literature and express their 
deviant viewpoints. Nothing is more humiliating than 
standing by one's own idiocy.
