What I meant is it was all jokes / nothing to you guys, but clearly provocative to him more and more(lots of misunderstandings) , hence you were in better position to drop it, however little you said or did.
His outbursts are uncalled for as I said, and don't even mean what you said just now, atleast you Klin (but Baus man, you two went at each other too long). But generally past month or two noticed it's been more common to goad / mock him little by little, which has made him more aggressive (he doesn't like Klin and reactions to you got more wild, hence his own responsibility). Either way this all was fully unnecessary.
