Reminding us that when legal action is not practical, then there is another means. Until about 1820, a person was allowed by law to challenge another person to a duel in order to settle a dispute. A trial or other legal action is basically a duel with words.
People fantasize about dueling. Some guy insults your wife, your honor, your dog, whatnot, and in the fantasy you duel and you show him. The reality is that a lot of older men, and barely men (very young) lost their lives to men in their prime. Approaching 50 myself I can readily see why dueling isn’t such a grand idea.
