I know that you did not begin the fight but I do not think that
it is productive what you call "to slap them back".

If someone hit you then I understand if you hit him back in order to defend
yourself but here you earn nothing from "slap them back"

You can explain yourself without "slapping them back" and I do not think
that you lose something from it.

If someone will say that I am stupid or insane then I am not going to insult
him.
I may complain to the moderators and I may ask by email for the reason for it(it
may be some misunderstanding).
