I can agree with the need for revenge; I've often found myself verbally lashing back whenever people crack jokes at each other. It feels really good to get the last laugh.
The article really touched on a point with the concept of how people view revenge differently; what one person may consider normal another would consider extreme. The problem is attempting to empathize with other people, and curbing your own desire for revenge with the knowledge that what you may do is viewed as an extreme measure by others.
There's a South Park episode that really gets at this; the one where Cartman is stiffed out of some money by a 7th grader.
