I forgot to comment on this:

"I give what I get and try to hit back harder just as the US does when attacked."

Hitting back harder only works with a much weaker opponent. With opponents of roughly equal power, it only leads to escalation. Notice that the U.S. did NOT adopt that policy with the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and that's why we are alive today.

Notice also that on message boards, we all have roughly equal power. The only exception is when someone succeeds in getting the conversation shifted to a board that he or she controls. But then people can vote with their feet.
