OK, seems I missed most of the fun here, but I think I was the guy who 'insulted his family', or at least I am equally to blame.
Having thus staked my claim to be part of this ridiculous conversation I would like to say that in fact there was no 'attack'. Its all smoke and wind.
Rental, you are compounding a non-issue with ridiculous accusations. You have to be sharper to take Pete on. He's competitive. You have to do better than you have done so far. The 'family' approach is a serious one, and the more serious the accusation the better you have to back it up, and you can't back it up at all.
You had more mileage in the bullying/belittling approach, but you two cocked that up too. The 'lettuce leaf to a gunfight' remark was a hint, he doesn't mind getting into it with you, but nobody wants to kick a cripple, its just not cricket.
Get your strategy right, pick some high ground, formulate your attack and at least try to give him a run for his money. If you are capable of that I look forward to seeing it. I don't for a moment think that you are, but maybe you will suprise us....
