That was the singularly most pitiful back pedal I’ve *ever* seen.
Should’ve just taken the kick like a man and been done with it.
I know this is hard for you to understand, but a person would have to have next to zero self esteem to have to defend this kind of comment with more effort than I expended. The ‘I bow to no man!’ is the pit bull lover’s defense of fragile ego hence the need to identify with excessively aggressive dogs. Those of us with self esteem can give a little credit where a little credit is due, or survive a snarling rebuttal without being fazed, without feeling like our self esteem is being diminished - hence I do not need to to own or support vicious dog breeds.
