It was always an option to just let the other guy take the biscuits and just get up and walk away and he says he specifically refuses to do this, even though that would immediately remove any social awkwardness from the situation

Yeah, that was what I was trying to say. He may see it as being patient, but it really isn't. Disengagement would've been the kindest action.

The take that masculinity and dominance has nothing to do with this and it's only about the "comedy of manners" is weird, isn't They're saying there's only two options in this story, to do what Arthur did or to stand up and go "Hey fuck you buddy" and start a fight

But that's not really the joke The joke that Arthur, or at least pre-aliens-destroying-Earth Arthur, would never do the latter because he's "too English" is half the joke

The OTHER half of the joke is that he could just as easily go "Okay this guy's a weirdo and I'm getting away from him" and just stand up and leave Or ignore him completely and let him have all the biscuits But he treats this as absolutely unacceptable as a matter of "principle"

That's the joke, the "aggressive" side of "passive-aggressive", that he really feels compelled to not let the other guy "win", he feels he'd be losing something if he did, he thinks he's some kind of hero for not backing down Again: Twitter

You could've just let the tweet go and not said anything, and I could've just let your reply go and not said anything, but obviously neither of us is doing that Because one of us is a trolling piece of shit who won't shut up and one of us is bravely standing up for the truth

And it's just a question of which is which, isn't it Well, I'm sure you'll disagree, but I've checked under my own newspaper a bunch of times now

Honestly, and I don't want to give them the impression I'm encouraging them, but it really is why I haven't deleted my account
