Potential fight? I don't believe it. If some one (ones) are really
serious about fighting they don't  get talked out of it. They just
start punching.
And yes, I've been there (hiding in the corner)

I'd give details, as it was an interesting incident. But of course, you
and Mr. Tricycle would say it was all fiction. Meh.

I already assume it was fiction. Either that or greatly exagerated.

***************************************
Many narcissists enjoy bragging about themselves in grandiose and
exaggerated terms, be it their physical attractiveness, material
(trophy) possessions, social popularity, exciting lifestyle, merit
badge achievements, high-status associations, or other envy-worthy
attributes. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with describing
oneself in positive terms, the pathological narcissist does so in the
following unhealthy ways:

A. The self-flattering statements are often exaggerated.

B. The self-flattering statements are often uttered, directly or
indirectly, at the expense of others (“I’m better than you,” “you
don’t have what I have,” “they‘re nothing compared with me.”) The
narcissist’s fragile ego is boosted not by positively affirming
oneself, but by putting others down.
