Thats odd aboutt he whole insult thing. I had read, in renditions of the time of courtly romance, when courtesy was at a premium, that a man should never let an insult go and that if a sincere apology was not immediately forthcoming, he should challenge the other man to a violent confrontation . . .
I kind of like that. Keeps men on their toes.

How To Respond To An Insult
When a gentleman has been subjected to a consious insult, either in public or in private, his response is simple: Because he is a gentleman, he says nothing at all.
A gentleman does not put his groceries on the conveyor belt with another shopper's purchases.
Has anyone read this book or wants to add to this list of "How To Be a Gentleman"?
