PS: when you say ?back down?, is it like JimTheFiend style where you just call people ?no you?re the shit head? or really ?back down? as in ?come and get it????

You hit the nail on the head. It's just like fighting in high school. Only, this isn't high school, Franck isn't a bully intimidating people with threats of physical violence, and there is no ass to be saved.
Past a certain age - 16 or so - calling people out on their willingness to fight just doesn't work anymore. If someone "challenges" you to a fight, the appropriate response is usually questioning their sanity and mocking them, not actually fighting them.
For adults, the only possible thing a fight can bring is some time in jail. It's dumb, and not wanting to participate in something doesn't really show what someone's "made out of", it just shows that the person is sensible.
As for backing down... this would be Franck backing down:
Franck: "You're a scammer."
simon: "I'm going to kick your ass!"
Franck: "Now I'm scared
Sorry about what I said, I didn't mean it."
And I think you'll agree with me that hell will freeze over before that conversation takes place.
