Hi,

Which is acceptable, (1), (2) or (3) ? Which is better?

(1) Mike bantered Tony on his stubbornness.
(2) Mike bantered Tony's stubbornness.

(3) Mike mocked Tony's stubbornness.

Only #3 is at all commonly said. 'Banter' is not commonly used.

Generally speaking, 'mocked' is an unkind and formal word.
