Honour bound to accept? Sounds like a bogus concept to me. How about the honor of not engaging in violence?

How about the honor of not engaging in violence?
- Pinckney 11y agoImagine your startup is unwelcome at VC events because you're considered a coward after declining a duel. Or if you're an employee, you're passed up for promotions on the same basis. You can think it bogus all you want, but that is small comfort if there are concrete socially-enforced ramifications for declining a duel.
- jsprogrammer 11y agoDo you know of an actual instance of this happening? If it is bogus, we should be trying to eliminate socially-enforced ramifications that allow VCs to promote violence.
