Stupid High School
Imagaine your at high school and your in science and someone is throwing papervalls at you and your throwing back. Than the teacher gives the class different types of balls eg. golf, tennis so on. The guy your throwing paperballs at who through them at you is now very angry with you for throwing all the paperball bacxk at him after they hit you. So he picks up a golf ball and throws it at your head (hard) whcich just misses you. Do you?

In that case, your class has a strange sense of humor, as a broken nose is a pretty nasty injury.throw the tennis ball and broke his nose. For some reason the teacher did not find this as funny as the rest of the class and i got suspended for 10 days.
I'd probably pick 4, but IF I were to throw back (in which case the ball should have hit me), I probably wouldn't aim straight at his face.

I would do the same thing.IF I were to throw back (in which case the ball should have hit me), I probably wouldn't aim straight at his face.
No way. No one should ever tell the teacher anything...EVER. (Well, maybe on rare occasions)
But something trivial like this...I'd be pretty unimpressed with someone who told the teacher. I think you've got to be able to handle things like this on your own. Personally, I'd probably throw a tennis ball, and not at the face.

Actually, it's the better option from an objective point of view.
On forums, if somebody gets flamed, it's encouraged that the flamer gets reported. In fact, on many message boards where there's no direct moderation, order is kept because of the "report this post to moderator" option. Of course, rather than reporting a flamer, there's also the option of flaming back. While this may seem the more attractive option to increase one's "macho level", it can also reduce one's stay on forums.
Depending on just how much the retaliating party goes out of line, the point of "who started it" may end up becoming moot very quickly, as your suspension demonstrated. Reporting something and then getting on with one's life certainly would have been more efficient in the long run.
(p.s: how about not calling people names, btw?)
