Primary instigator of fights is inability or refusal to see the other person's point of view. From what I'm reading, he didn't think he was being a jerk one bit, and you certainly didn't help the situation by not explaining the problem.
 back at ya ... especially for your hypocracy. That kind of behavior is EXACTLY why the world isn't a better place.
I explained in detail why we would not be able to even move the bikes with his car that close, he replied along the line that he didn't have time to worry about our bikes, and have a nice day. (while on the phone) So I had nice day. We had to slide my Triumph (465 lbs) out of the way so we could slide the Big Dog (850 lbs!)far enough that we could even stand the bike up! THATS how close he was! My point of view? He invaded MY space, I gave him a very clear reason and cause to not do it. And I gave him opportunity to rectify it. HE chose to be ignorant of us peeons on the bikes. That makes HIM the instigator! So you!
I'll continue to spit in the face of holier-than-thou morons as long as they are stupid enough to act that way towards me. Fug 'em.
