If someone pushes, they EXPECT you to push back. If doing what those you don't like and being controlled that way makes you happy, have fun. There isn't only one way to react to anger--not just pushing back, not just hate on top of hate.

If someone uses over the top rhetoric to win, do you really think doing the same in retaliation is the best way to fight? People are so conditioned to "fight fire with fire" that they can't see what the results will be. You can't fight lies with more lies, and you can't fight hate with more hate, and not expect any result but lies and hate.

I understand anger, but I believe it's possible to ignore the impulse to knee-jerk into push-back mode, and think logically about what will IMPROVE situations.
