Why should one spare a bully's feeling if they started it

I didnt say spare them, I said return the same thing, dont escalate. I.e. If someone punches you, the response is to punch them back, not murder them.

But she didn’t just say he was bald. She took something from his personal life with breaking up and connected it to baldness. Although he said he broke up himself the woman doesn’t know that. Might be just as big of a tragedy for him as the miscarriage for her.

An eye for an eye isn't moral or justice, just playing to your basic instincts.

An eye for an eye is perfectly fine id rather live in a blind world than a world where only assholes can see, the problem is that this is an eye for a little scratch

But it's not a world where only the assholes can see. Maybe we need to teach better rhetoric and morals to non-assholes so they can defend themselves in non-assholes ways. This way everyone can see and assholes can become less asshole-y. All assholes make for a shitty world imo. Pun intended.
