I certainly did. That's quite distinct from what you imputed to me, however. Are you suggesting that it would be a crime for me to ask someone a question? Are you suggesting that violence, or the non-verbal imminent threat thereof, would be a lawful response to my asking a question? It isn't.

I am suggesting that most reasonable people would tell you to "FUGG OFF. What I do is none of your business. Get out of my face!"

And that if you do anything other than turn and move along, the most reasonable of persons will become irritated with you and will commence to move you along.

Nope. Not lawful to "move someone along" in a public space for asking a question. You can ignore that person, or tell them to buzz off, but if it's a public space, both people have a right to be there. If you're annoyed by my question, you have a lawful right to leave, stay and ignore me, or converse with me, but you have no right to respond with violence or threat's of imminent violence, either verbally or non-verbally.
