its not about harming, not matter how much of a dick, douche, bastard, etc a person is. it is not for the purpose of gratification or anything even near to that. it is about warning, punishing for the sake of the community, not for the emotional sake of the person administering the punishment, and the possible other people feeling better about the fact that said person has been punished. no offence, but it seems people need to be more objective when it comes to dealing with a holes.

That was also a mighty brave thing MoD did; kudos to him!
