To survive, we need to ensure nice people are nastier towards nasty people than nasty people are capable of being towards nice people.

Doing me bit on that.  Hardly a week goes by that I don't inform someone that they're being a rude cunt. Last time was when someone walked into a shop a few seconds ahead of a woman walking with a cane (I know he saw the woman - he had to go round her to get to the door).  Didn't hold the door for her.  I stepped up, opened the door, and followed the woman in.  Spotted the man and said, 'Any idea how you're going to use those three seconds you saved by being thoughtless prick?'

This is de rigueur for me.

Nice people can kick ass when it's necessary. Hmph
