The point is while, yes some people are just naturally bastards, others are simply lashing out because they have been hurt. Regardless of whether or not that can be considered an excuse, it's a cycle of abuse one way or another.
Since I have no way of distinguishing between the two I would rather not be a particpant in the cycle by attacking back. I know that sometime leaves me open to abuse that isn't necessary, but I would rather not hurt unknowingly another person. If I can take it and they don't keep on spreading their 'love' around then as long as it's ended it seems ok.
... It sounds stupid the way I'm explaining it. It doesn't make sense when I try to type it out.
