That's why you never give in. If Snout tries this, a person who wasn't there and likely doesn't give a shit has to make a decision. Decisions are easier when you can find a reason to decide. Any reason will do, so don't give them one. And "well, maybe it was a bit much" is admission you were wrong. Thus if Snout stands firm, the score is "one self-admitted reason to zero, case closed". On the other hand, if you stand your ground, the pig will go down. Because objectively, Snout is in the wrong both in this particular incident and in the series leading up to it. But it's a harder judgement to make simply because it's hearsay vs admission. This all depends on Snout trying this in the first place, which is not likely. We hear about hams lawyering up, etc., but they are the exception. And they always lose anyway, it's just a delay tactic in the hopes that you'll fuck it up. So just don't fuck it up.
