Quite a few times in public places.
-
I have 4 kids. I've stopped many fights.
-
Why yes I have..actually I didn't stop it, just held the girl back so she wouldn't kill my friend:)
-
Do you consider sliding my ka-bar inside a mans heart stopping a fight?
-
Sure
-
Yes. I'm quite a good diplomat.

Verbal fights I have stopped often enough. Use of the Sanskrit word 'Santam' repeatedly, calms down the fighters. Santam means 'Calm Down'. It doesn't seem to work in physical fights, though!
-
Yes, best to stop it before something really stupid happens...

Numerous times, with both my chin and my nose.

Yes. I was sitting in a restaurant and there was a young man sitting on his own, pretty drunk, and making racial slurs towards a table full of men at another table. I could see their faces getting redder and redder and thought "Oh boy, this guy is mincemeat". So, I went up to the young man, took him by the arm and moved him out onto a balcony table. He was so drunk, he didn't realise what was happening. When I went back into the restaurant, the men at the other table said "Thank you for taking him out, we were able to pile into him".

No, I usually instigate them and then if someone wants to back out I am the one to push them back in again... Everyone needs a good fight now and then!
-
Many times.

Nope and around here doing such a thing will cause a beat down or get you shot.

Only when it's between two of my friends, I've done that a few times. I'm friends with a couple of brothers, and in our teens once we went out drinking and ended up going back to theirs at the end of the night to continue drinking (they were still living at home with their parents at this point). One of them went to his bed and I, the other one, and another friend sat in the other bedroom listening to music, talking and drinking. The other friend began arguing back and forth with the brother who was in his bed, and it got more and more heated until he jumped up and ran through, and I and the other brother followed. Punches were thrown and one brother tried to hold the other friend back and shouted to me to do the same to his brother who had jumped out of bed, and I had to try and hold back a squirming, naked, slightly sweaty naked man without touching parts of him that I really didn't want to touch.....other than that if it's two strangers I just enjoy the show.

Plenty of times. I was a prison guard in Hawaii during the 1980s and 90s, and it seemed like every day, there was some sort of "verbal altercation" that I had to halt, before it became "physical." On a few occasions, it did... +5
