A matter of honor
 

A friend has called me a "racist" over a political disagreement. I
intend to publicly call him a "scoundrel" thus provoking him to ask
for satisfaction. As the challenged, I will propose slide rules at 50
paces as neither of us knows squat about guns. Reading Wikipedia, I
see that the Southern Code Duello specifies that it be done on a
sandbar in a river which is very appropriate as we have been canoeing
partners. I need some appropriate suggestions for when our seconds
should call it off.

The way it used to work up here...it was over when one man was dead...or
seriously wounded.

Don't do the duel thing.
Threaten him with lawsuit and a deposition.
That'll shut him up, for sure.
If you do go the duel route, don't take a slide rule to a T-square
fight.

Look, this guy is/was a friend of mine (and was my lawyer) and loyalty
keeps me from anything drastic. I just wanna jokingly show him he
screwed up.

Are you a racist?
If not, kick his ass and get a new friend.
Or maybe call him a sexist for not supporting Sarrah.
That'll teach him.
Come on. you can handle this.
