Originally posted by Bad wolf3 inches hardly counts as a whittling knife, nevermind dagger. Make a fist - see the distance between the first bend in your forefinger (coming from the wrist direction) to the second bend? Thats three inches-ish, depending on your hands...

He has a 3 inch dagger, there is no comparison!
Edit - just read the post about you being taller. The secret for a taller person in a fight is to stay on your feet. You have the reach advantage but not the centre of gravity. As long as you keep standing and punching, short guy can't get you. If it goes to the ground, kick for all you're worth.

I really do not see how a civil injunction could work. It is usually available in tort law and while what your brother is doing to you may amount to tortious liability an injunction is usually only a remedy for private nuisance, trespass to land, and defamation. The only injunction that I could honestly see working and it would be a very long shot would be ...[text shortened]... l injunction is the wrong route to take, a restraining order is by far the best possible remedy.

Your mom tells you not to run with scissors because they are sharp and you can stab people with them.

Why take such a horrible risk?!
