What with some healthy bickering going on here on the BM at times I think it's time to remind all how gentlemen are supposed to clear arguments 
"Pistols at Dawn – Officers, Gentlemen and the Deadly Tradition of Duelling
'“The Duke of Wellington ruthlessly cashiered officers caught duelling during the Peninsular War, but even his iron will could not stamp out the practice entirely.”'
THE MUSICAL Hamilton is the toast of Broadway and has renewed interest in the life of America’s first Secretary of the Treasury. But quite as remarkable as Alexander Hamilton’s life was the manner of his death. He perished in 1804 in the most famous duel in American history.
Hamilton’s untimely demise stimulated noisy if unsuccessful calls for the end of the practice of duelling once and for all, even though it had long been illegal in both the United States and Great Britain."
