I disagree. At first I thought Kevin was overreacting, but then I reread the thread and it was indeed alarming and inappropriate.Accepted.
not only did he challenge to a duel, but he kept pressing the matter.Because there was no consent?
I think even WS would concur that it wasn't a great idea to challenge somebody to a duel. but IMHO it's no good to harbor grudges forever. Ask Oprah. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
