Except it's rarely "equal give and take", it's someone with power punching down.
Rather like those bullies at school who, when caught by the teacher, whined "Oh Sir, we were just having a bit of a laugh..."
Oddly, I was never the one laughing.
Bullying is a different kettle of fish though, on a different level, and not what this post is about.
This is more about people that not only get offended by the slightest thing, but make a point of being loud in their uncalled for response so that they get the attention that THEY so obviously want and desperately crave.
