I don't care who the member is telling me not to defend my woman if a guy is in her facing harassing her.  I am not going to just wait for him to hit her before I do something.  And since he was not acting reasonable by getting in the woman's face I have no reason to believe that he will respond to reasonable requests.

Seems like your opinion is based on assumption. If you watch the Video that pat recently posted you see dude standing a good distance from the vehicle and appears to be indicating that she roll down the window, the next clip it appears the woman has exited the vehicle. Of course we cannot tell if the guy got more aggressive during the cut away, but he has advanced no closer to the vehicle. 

It appears you just want to throw in "getting in her face" to excuse your assertion that escalating this situation was the right move.
