“That would have been acceptable in a different era, IMHO.”

150 years ago, it would have been “pistols at dawn” time, if someone said this to another man. Now, I don’t thinking dueling is the best way to settle disputes, but people certainly were more polite back then.

I actually challenged someone to a duel, once upon a time. Smacked him in the face with a glove.
He didn't show up.
