In my opinion, because you were "participating" in the dispute, if a fight took place, you would have gotten fired. There are two (2) ways to go with this: 1) Go talk to the guy who wanted to fight. Apologize for arguing with him. Then wait to see what he says or does. Jobs are hard to come by and you sure don't want to lose yours over silly principles. What did Kenny Rogers say? Know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em." 2) Go to Human Resources and complain. This will create a bad environment, and you will have difficulties at work. Eventually you will get fired, or you will quit. Pick your wars! This is not one to choose.
