This is a very good technique. It gives one a responce to the act and it leaves
the individual in question wondering just what happened. A freindly wave in
responce to being flipped off (or whatever) often leaves the aggressor somewhat
befuddled and wondering what to do. Similar to a verbal karate technique taught
to the kids along the lines of agreeing with someone in the middle of an
argument.
Be cool,
