> deleted everything from my home drive to "teach me a lesson". Lesson painfully learnt.

I had a mentor in my teenage year that was the same kind of person. To this day the only meaningful memory I have of him is that he was an asshole. You can teach a lesson and be empathetic towards people that make mistakes. You don't have to be an asshole.

The lessons we learn best are those which we are emotionally invested in and sometimes that emotion can be negative, but a lesson will be learned regardless.

Sure. But you don’t have to deliberately destroy all data and be mean about it as in GP‘s case to get an emotional reaction.

LOL! That's why we still smack kids' hands with a stick if they answer a question in school wrong. Because it emotionally sticks and definitely does not cause any psychological issues.
