Aw, you're just being overly sensitive. Didn't your score get marked down
when you ordered the bad guy to drop the (mock) TV in a defensive
combat simulation?

I think I would still put him on the floor. He might leave with a $200
VCR then I find out he also left with my car, money, Playboy collection,
cat, and most of the good furniture. Oh, clarification: when I said "Put
him on the floor" I meant: "Order him to lie down" - not shoot him. "Put
him on the floor" admittedly is not much different from "Put him down,"
but I really meant "capture," not "kill." Sorry for the confusion.
