So if it didn't make you feel better to show me disrespect, then what compelled you to do it?
Duty?
Righteous indignation?
A desire to punish?
Revenge?
Or did you just need to blow off steam?
I mean, it is not as if you really thought you were going to "put me in my place."
In any case, you acted in a manner that didn't make you feel better....
As is often the case with humans, we act in a manner that doesn't make us feel better...but we are compelled to act none the less.
Despite a reasoning mind, we rationalize behavior that doesn't make us feel better.
Let's see now. What should I do now. You disrespected me. Should I strike back at you for the attack, or should I show compassion?

Quote from g222:
His last response to me: "Feel better now?", underscores your sentiment.
And Z - no, it does NOT make me feel better to show you disrespect. But for some reason, you seem bent on behavior that makes affording you that basic level of respect that we all are due, a difficult task at best. Personal affronts seem inappropriate for this subject matter.
