don't give this cretin that kind of power over you. That is a choice you know. If you ran into him again, stand straight up and tall, look him in the eye with a look that says, "I know your gig and you KNOW what will happen if you so much as bat an eyelash at me".

I would do the same thing, and have, I just wish we weren't raised to be so nice all the time, to be the ones who try to make everyone comfortable and happy...it makes it so hard to do a 180 and get a little fierce.
