Yeah no. People are responsible for the consequences of their actions. Being abusive to others does not liberate you from that.

Sure, there are nuances (you're not necessarily solely responsible for consequences), but these nuance the stance, not remove your responsibility.

I didn't say they were _only_ my problem, but they are my problem.

How I resolve those hurt feelings is a choice for me.
