That's a justification for your vindictiveness (which I did not ask nor expect you to justify.) I am suggesting that you recognize your vindictiveness for what it is, not that you deny yourself feelings of vindictiveness.

I don't exactly understand your obsession with "vindictiveness". I'm not saying we should have a policy of rounding these people up and throwing them in prison. This is my emotional response, not a proposed policy response. They, however, literally did support a policy of rounding people up and throwing them in prison.
Why do you say that I'm obsessed with vindictiveness? Note that I am not the GP, I left only two comments concerning it. I happen to think that your feelings vindictiveness are justified. I'm just saying you shouldn't deceive yourself into thinking your feelings of vindictiveness are something else. There is nothing wrong with an emotional response and I've not insinuated otherwise. Feeling vindictive is healthy, but self-deception harms yourself. I hope my position is now clear to you.
