First off I show equal respect, for people who nag, bi<b></b>tch and complain about nothing in particular, harrass me on irc and are all around idiots, then no. I don't see as me retaliating with equal and direct respect as being a "jerk".
I am a firm believer in karma, what goes around comes around. If you don't want me to insult, snap, or criticize him, then have him stop doing it to me.
If you think I'm still out of line for thinking that then you have the mentality and rational thinking of a braindead foetus.
