@ghost-of-a-duke saidLike I said good with words, I am sure you'll have a fine Prose story again this year! 😉
Apparently we are guilty of only fighting with words in this forum, instead of fighting physically through our monitors.

@fmf saidYou said: I seem to remember, some years ago, him muttering darkly - your typical pathetic internet "tough guy" - about what he was physically capable of, his prowess, repeatedly, threats, retribution, blah blah blah blah, pure stodge even more clueless and narcissistic stodge than the regular unfunny dimwitted sabotage of thread after threa ...[text shortened]... tough guy, which we both know you are not! You fight with words, cause that is all you have.
No I didn't. I started one about you being an "internet tough guy".

@very-rusty saidYes, I was talking about what a buffoon you make of yourself talking about being tough and "real fights". What do "real fights" have to do with mentioning someone's puberty or chess rating on a message board? "Will not back down", what? "Real fights", what? "Tough", what are you on about?

Back in the early 2000s I was travelling Eastern Europe researching exotic condiments for an entry into a section of the appendix of Latvian cookery book for I had generously been asked to contribute.
While I was visiting Georgia I attended a tasting session for Ajika, a very lively variety of spicy dips from the region, and suddenly my phone rang with an urgent message from a friend of mine back in Latvia saying that he had gotten himself into some “nepatikšanas”, that is “bad trouble” in English.
Apparently he had agreed to meet with a person who he been arguing with on the internet and whom he had told he would “cīņa” (fight) and destroy. Being a burly sort of character and a bit of a drinker of alcohol, he believed himself more than capable of sorting this person out and giving him a good lesson in strength.
It turned out that the person he met was indeed quite small but instead of fighting (cīņa), this unremarkable man shoved a broken bottle into his arm (he aimed for his face) and then kicked him hard in the testicles several times causing my friend to vomit on himself.
I just thought I would share this with you as a warning again pretending to be a tough man on the internet.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidHe mentioned my "puberty" earlier. Still a touchy subject for me decades and decades later. There was a guy called Leonardo who had Ant Hill Mob five o'clock shadow at 11. I did not. Still hurts me to think of those times.

@velns saidI frequently pretend that I'm a Samurai on the internet.

In light of your anecdote, I might quit doing this.

@fmf saidI went through puberty between the hours of 3pm and 5:45pm on the 14th July, 1987.

True story.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidSounds more like Peter Perfect or Sergeant Blast than the Ant Hill Mob.

@fmf saidWhen was the last time rusty claimed to be a tough guy and fighting people? Leave the past in the past, people change, let it go.
Yes, I was talking about what a buffoon you make of yourself talking about being tough and "real fights". What do "real fights" have to do with mentioning someone's puberty or chess rating on a message board? "Will not back down", what? "Real fights", what? "Tough", what are you on about?

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWhen we drove through there it only took us...well less than a minute and even then that was because we had to stop and let a snake slither across what could almost be called the road.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidAnd I thought you were the Ghost of an ancient Duke...🙁
