No, I agree, but it hinges on what you call "a little".

If you take into account that most people underestimate their own provocations by (say) 10x and overestimate those of others by (say) another 10x, that compounds to quite a skew. This can, and often does, plunge discussion into internet failure modes like rage fests and outright mob dynamics.

It's therefore best to temper one's indignation with some kind of alloy (as you did in your comment here) and not go full uninhibited. I know that's countercultural, counterintuitive, and unsatisfying, but it's the right tradeoff for this site, given what we're trying to optimize for.
