What exactly is the point you are making here? If you disapprove of your own behavior, you should apologize to Lukas. If you don't disapprove of it, then if you are right, people might not be rationalizing if they conclude that being a bully might be appropriate in some cases.

Didn't I just say I was negotiating, rather than arguing? Quit looking for a point. Look instead for a purpose.

In one comment, I leverage a petty form of darks arts, with no karma penalty to myself, and a hefty cost to the person I targeted. In the next, I call myself out for doing so, and those who fell for it as well - with a pretty hefty karma penalty.

I'll dryly observe the amusement I find in a community which purports to be about becoming stronger getting rather huffy about having their weaknesses revealed to them. Which might suggest some of my purpose.
