@ Samson: The thing is though - revenge does no good but perhaps satisfy ones own vengeful feelings when it's carried out. And sometimes they're not even satisfied - it could just go on.
And most importantly: What practical good does it do? 'Disposing of' is one thing - but I don't see why suffering would need to come into it if you're getting rid of them either way? Just sounds like satisfying ones own vengeful feelings to me.
IMO, revenge--in and of itself--never does any good. All it can do is satisfy itself - and potentially it can do a lot worse. I think vengeance is a very destructive emotion, it does nothing but tries to satisfy its own anger.
You can dispose of 'problems' without having to go further with 'revenge'.
At least that's the way I see it.
I think the most one can reasonably do is go about it like 'putting a rabid dog down' - I understand why one might want to go further...but I don't think one should - revenge can only make things worse because it's self-feeding...the best it can do is destroy itself through carrying out its wrath - but my whole point is (to make it very clear) that: vengeance is a very destructive emotion and in and of itself it should be avoided at all costs.
