I usually ignore hostility; it would take a lot to push me over the edge and in those cases I get violent. They either get no reaction at all or a violent one in serious cases. Fortunatly not many people are ever like that towards me, I can think of one from the top of my head, but he knows what my friends and myself think about him so he usually stays away.

I like to flip chairs. :D

It really depends on my mood, who it is that I'm picking hostility up from, and how well I know them. IRL, if it's someone like my brother, I'm just passive aggressive. I'll pick on him a little bit.

If it's someone IRL whom I don't really know, I tend to ignore them at first, but if they continue to behave as if I'm the scum of the earth, then I'll get defensive.

Online however, I am much bolder. I can be quite defensive, to the point where I can be quite malicious and rude. Generally, I don't act unless provoked though, and If I get the feeling you're just being a troll or a bully, I'll just blatantly ignore you, and obviously inform them that they are now being ignored. Hehe. This causes some people to fly off the handle but it's usually effective at getting them to at least ignore me.

If it's an online friend, I'll try to see what's bothering them, and talk with them about it and try to work with them, and possibly cheer them up. Generally, though..Most of my friends don't have random bouts of hostility at me.

Depends on who it is, how angry they are and if they're throwing insults.

I'll usually just tell them to buzz off until they gain back their cool. That, or be hostile back and go wild. The latter rarely happens.

Real life: I try to keep my cool, but I end up making a fuss over something small; I'm very sensitive with words, so yeah...
Online: Laugh and find their attempt pathetic.. though it depends on the situation.

I'm a pacifist, I don't react to such childish nonsense.

If one goes near me I'll just ask, "Have I done something to make you mad?". If so, I'll try to apologize. And if he reacts violently... I'll pull out my Desert Eagle and point it at him and shout!

It depends...

I observe them first!

And then I warn them!

If they do that again... 2 more warnings!

Do it again... another 2 more!

They don't stop... Dont stop giving 2 more!

Well, actually, I let them be... They know what they're doing! :)

Let it be! Love your enemies as you love your neighbors! :)

P.S. = :)

I am pretty passive-aggressive in the sense that if someone shoves me, I won't shove back, but if I'm constantly shoved because they think I won't fight back, then I'll probably throw them into something. I also don't really enjoy being verbally attacked and after awhile, I'll get annoyed and say something really mean back.
