Why did Mars Bar Thompson treat Maniac the way he did?

Maniac made Mars Bar angry.  He challenged him when usually no one else did.  Maniac went to the East End one day.  He had been there before, but never on a Saturday.  This time, there were kids everywhere.  Soon he ran into Mars Bar.  He was munching on his signature Mars Bar candy bar.  Mars Bar confronted Maniac for being a strange kid in the East End.  The other kids around them egged Mars Bar on, telling him to beat up Maniac.  Mars Bar shoved his candy bar toward Maniac and sarcastically asked him "'Wanna bite?'"  Maniac did not seem to notice the sarcasm.  Instead, he took a bite and thanked him.  That really made Mars Bar angry.  He started to fight Maniac.  Then they started fighting over Amanda Beale's book.  This fight probably would have gone on if a nearby lady hadn't stopped it.
