i will help you as much as i can, but i cannot call myself a pacifist.
EDIT: I do want to join though
ian,
I think that there should be some discussion about the notion 'pacifist'. My opinion is that violence is not accepted as a mean to solve problems. I do not think that it is realistic to say selfdefense is forbidden. Or that you should not try and help your brother.
Anyway, your support is welcome!
