And it's another person's choice to tell you that you are less than a man for doing so. And you just have to take that and like it.
Okay, I can accept that. And had Gerfast stopped at asking him to stop, there would have been no problem. He instigated a physical altercation. That's where he took it too far.
But, on another note, I'm not sure using profanity makes someone "less than a man". Rude? Yes. A wuss? Nah.
