Norway,
I am not taking anything away from you, Toad has taken the same away from me and by refusing to retract & apologise, his failings are going to take it away from you also.
You are continuing to talk to the victim. If you witnessed a street fight, one guys lying on the ground with a bloody nose, the other guy standing proud, nursing his knuckles whilst bragging to his buddies, would you criticize the guy lying on the ground?
If this dispute should be taken elsewhere then perhaps that should have been pointed out to the assailant before he started it, I'm sorry guys, but I simply have no time for loud-mouthed bullies.
