I don't care if you take him to court or you wait for him to be alone in the parking lot and come at him with a baseball bat. You can keep your pride at the end of the day as long as you feel the score is even. There's no sense in standing up for yourself when you're at a huge tactical disadvantage, because all that's going to do is get you dead and the other guy feeling even better about himself than he was before.

Standing up for yourself when you're almost guaranteed to get your ass handed to you isn't being proud, it's being fucking retarded.
