Had something similar happen several weeks ago. Highlander male took offense to my little lalafell lass' banter (she may have insulted the size of his... ahem) and hoisted her up by the hair. Cue a challenge to a duel outside the Quicksand. Cue /random rolls and OoC communication in tells and it made for a very fun spectacle. Had a crowd of maybe a dozen watching? Was certainly entertaining.
