The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Life is too short to only hunt and fish on weekends! If being a dumbass was fatal some of you would be on your death bed!

Of course that doesn't mean he's not down. Seems like you are doing the right thing by backing off IMO. If you have access to a dog, as "Dkhargroves" said, take advantage of it. But you may not sleep tonight. Good luck. A man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with an argument
