The OP was suggesting that you shouldn’t set the line above slug-bug. If you do, the aggressor now gets to take offense and socially (or physically—if you “punch back”, you’ve defected and are now fair game for retailiation) punish you for it.
It’s a bad equilibrium and I won’t support it. I don’t often fight against it, but that’s mostly because I no longer feel the helplessness and fear I sometimes did as a kid, and I feel bad when I see it and do nothing.
