Well, if someone has to hypothetically kill someone they've never met, or die themselves, would they choose for the other person to die because they want them dead, or they want themselves alive?
i don't see how that can represent travis's situation, because he wouldn't be further affected/harmed in any way if he chose to not do anything
he wanted to get back at someone, using an offensive method. keep in mind that he also replied to the post that pissed him off by flaming, and
then added shit to his signature for everyone to see.
if guy A spits in guy B's face, and in "defense" guy B both spits in A's face and then starts spitting all over everyone in public, I don't think I'd call it a defensive reaction.
