You are correct..., there’s always going to be a reply to an attack; the question is: which reply is the one that deflects it, rather than trades blows with it or runs away from it?
When a blow is deflected who is hurt the most?
It depends upon how the situation is handled and the orginal attacker. Those who are simply attacking for their own pleasure are not likely to be truly hurt. Those who are attacking out of instability are likely to be hurt with the responses generated.
In this case, things were not handled as maturely as possible, but that's to be expected. There are many people posting here; no matter how ideal the situation, someone is always going to respond. It is nigh impossible to coordinate replies, and nasty words are going to be exchanged.
However, when you attack someone, especially without any reasonable motive, you are setting yourself up for harsh comments. It is the risk that goes along with disagreeing with anyone. With attacking, it is almost certain. It's not tolerated, which is fairly obvious. When someone starts attacking, they forfeit the right to have their feelings spared.
