Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

In this case she started the fight. I wouldn't punch someone because I didn't like them. However if they do start punching me, I do have a right to defend myself. While insults aren't the same and I'm not really the type to get that much into it, when people like MTG or Alex Jones do it, I'm not going to have qualms with it being dished back to them. I mention Alex Jones because he does it to a ridiculous degree, and has had MTG on multiple times to spew similarly vile hate.
I'm certainly not going to let the person who started it play the victim card after they got it back
