# How is that inconsistent?
I've mentioned that I'll lamp a couple of people if I meet them. It's fully justified in my opinion and I'm not being in the slightest bit angry about it.
I don't understand why people equate violence with anger. It's perfectly reasonable to teach someone some manners without getting angry about it.

# this i feel
perhaps is a product of your time in the army.

# maybe,
but it's more a result of two people going beyond the usual abuse at me and being rather hateful about my mother and my wife. I'll just make them understand that there are consequences to that kind of behaviour if the opportunity arises. It's not like I'm screaming revenge and threatening anyone. Anger is a very bad fault to have if you are going to get yourself involved in fighting of any kind.

# i meant the lack of association between violence and anger
in the army violence is/can be a job.

# I'm afraid when it comes to unprovoked violence, the law disagrees.
And besides, if you really do want to teach someone some manners, there are far more diplomatic and effective ways to do it.

# Hey we all have our ways of dealing with things.
I'm an old man, it's worked for me to date.
Trust me, 4-6 months inside for making somebody realise that they just can't say some things without dealing with it later is not something that bothers me.
