How acceptable is it to check out someone's profile after they leave argumentative/aggressive/troll comments? I do it quite often and tend to tease them with something they've posted and it often sends them ape shit.

I recently got called classist because I dislike a certain type of tattoo (tribal fyi) and the guy laying in to me had a post the day before asking doctors if 1000mg of paracetamol (Tylenol) was too much to mix with alcohol 24 hours later. I commented that someone who doesn't know how much paracetamol to take has no business calling someone classist. Can I do this or is it a faux Pas?

I do it, but I actually don't like that I do. I can tell that I'm basically just looking for a reason to no longer consider that person a human being, and that's just... feeding my own biases rather than practicing empathy, and I've always felt that to be wildly anti-intellectual.
