Spot on.

I always find it amusing when people get angry about the way they've 
been treated, then go and do something as equally 
stupid/bad/immoral/wrong (whatever), using the former as justification. 
In my opinion, it goes to show, the person offended is no better a 
person then the one(or several) they are passing judgement on, of course 
it could just be a shock reaction .. i'm sure we all react in strange 
ways when we're in shock(i know i do, i'm only human)..

Curious to see what happens next..
