Revenge

A lot of replies here aren't really "revenge" but "self defense." The difference, to me, is when that person can't hurt you anymore yet you still go out of your way to deliver pain and delight in their misfortune. There's no room for that in my life. Live and let live, eh? Do unto others & all that jazz.
Yeah. I have been in a position where I could get revenge at last-- and didn't do it, because it just wasn't going to feel good.

But stopping someone in the act, and seeing a just and poetic repercussion-- that's a good thing.

I am in a position right now, where I fucked up. The person whom I wounded is doing her damndest to get revenge, as in repercussions above and beyond what she needed to do in the incident-- which she did, at that time. I apologised publicly. I have however stirred up some sleeping dragon in her, and she's being passive-aggressive at me all over the internet. I emailed her and told her to just get aggressive minus the passiveness, but she will not respond directly... What we do comes back threefold. I'm just taking my lumps for now. And defending myself against the sniping when I come across it.

The link I posted, is another example. In that case, someone felt aggrieved towards a group of women-- paid $45.00 to go to the convention, took pictures and posted them in a nasty, hateful post on a forum that exists specifically for those kiinds of posts.

Now, people are blogging about her actions, and when she goes to get a job, any potential employer who googles her name-- will read about how she broke a signed confidentiality agreement, engaged in hatespeech, and does not get along with other women. That's going to be a big threefold.
 
Revenge really feels good in some cases.. And if I dont do something I cant stop thinking about it. I'd like to leave them alone, but I imagine that they think they are getting away with it then or just laughing or something.

I do have a ego.. :D
When I lose in a game or sport I really want to win next time.. I need to win.. To show i'm better!... So I can gloat!! HAHA I WON
And tease them about it :p
Oooh sweet revenge! Especially when they bugged me about it before. Then you can get back to normal :)

Don't forget pointing at them and laughing. Always point and laugh.

:devil: :D

(I never do (hardly), but don't let them know that. ;) )
 
At the end of the day wasn't the War in Iraq a form of revenge? :confused:

Not saying it was. Just wondering what everyone else's take on it is.

I've kinda viewed it that way. Not exactly revenge, but a message - a "Dear X":

Dear X:

Don't fuck with America. We're big, powerful, and a little bit crazy. If you piss us off there's no telling what will happen or who will get hurt, and we have the means to make someone really regret fucking with us. So fuck with the French instead if you have to.

It missed.


One really doesn't want to return to the Seventies, when the French hadn't discovered underarm deodorant or that cooking garlic removed the larger spectrum of its smell.
