Is it not one's responsibility to handle one's reaction to the world? To say "You brought up something I didn't enjoy, so you must pay", whether it's social status, one's time or even money, in case of a court, is to say "I can wield you however I want, and you can't do a damn thing about it 'cause I'm oppressed".

If people are siding with you when you say that, we're in a precarious position.
