I dunno, I feel like that, it could just be some twenty something on the internet talking shit about my background, calling me a hick, insulting my taste in music, telling me I'm stupid, making assumptions about my sex life, making assumptions about my endowment, calling me fat, calling me a faggot, doing everything within their power to try and hurt me with words, in a public venue hiding behind anonymity that doesn't exist because I know who the person is. I wonder why it's not fair to hurt them physically in return. Just because a line of text in some papers stored off in a court somewhere says so. What power does that text really have over me and my ability to avoid the authorities over an act of deserved vigilante justice?

I don't see why the law would protect hateful/hurtful individuals with some sort of mental defect/complex that makes them act like your typical mouthbreathing troll, only the variety that tries to make things much much more personal.

It's people like that that make me feel enabled to act as an agent of teaching a life lesson of putting your money where your mouth is.

nothing will come of it, it just made me wonder how often and likely people get away with it when they do decide to lash out.

Obviously people like this weren't beaten enough by their parents, it almost feels like my civic duty to do it for society's sake.

Would you really want to live in a society that allows people to enact vigilante justice every time they feel wronged, or because somebody hurt their feelings? I'm sure that would work out REALLY well.

I think the bigger question is why do you feel the need to respond with violence because of what somebody said to or about you? I don't know, when I was a kid that sort of stuff bothered me, as an adult it rolls off my back because...well...I'm not bothered by childish things like name calling anymore. Just think about the mentality of somebody who feels the need to talk to you that way, are they really worth any of your time? Is it really worth descending to their level? If you do does it make you any better then they are?

Seriously you're in for a rough ride in life if you let every loudmouthed idiot get under your skin. You have to let stuff like that go before it eats you alive.
