You can argue with the reasoning here, but you can't argue with the conclusion unless you're advocating not respecting somebody. It's a nasty position to take.

Even if somebody writes a bad chapter in your life, it doesn't mean you should be out to write bad chapters in theirs.

Everybody deserves at least a basic level of respect. It's a fundamental component to being moral.

You'd be surprised. Live by the sword, die by the sword, I say. And eye for an eyelid. I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee...
