I've seen that, too, but I honestly don't think he was free of the indirect influence of scepter, and that there is a difference between his behavior in that lab and his behavior in general. *shrugs* He is an insensitive ass most of the time, but he generally isn't that abrasive or confrontational if he doesn't have to be.

Before the scepter, Tony and Steve basically just irritated each other, but Tony's reaction was just to focus on someone he did like (Bruce) and Steve was ultimately just being a professional and trying to keep everyone on task - which is basically half his job right there.

The fact that they were all getting so needlessly aggressive with each other? That was the influence of the scepter. Steve and Tony may not have been friends or even gotten along that well, but they both would have largely just stayed on task and done their job as much as possible without that kind of influence.

I compare all of this to the scene on the jet when they're taking Loki back to the Helicarrier - before they were getting influenced by the scepter. I really don't see where people are coming from when they say that Tony was being a bully even then, because to me it just sounded like he was really, really awkwardly trying to make small talk or something. Steve didn't sound like he was rejecting Tony or being abrasive, either - he was trying to be professional and on-task. I can see how they may have misinterpreted each other's intentions, but it baffles me how much it appears the audience missed both their intentions, having that kind of outside perspective.

But then, I've seen people try to insist that the scepter had no influence on anyone at all, that it was just a dramatic misdirection, so I guess I shouldn't be that surprised. -_-
