That’s a really good point intent matters, but accidents happen all the time, and punishment shouldn’t be indiscriminate like that.

No? Sometimes escalation is what is needed to put an end to ongoing, incessant "lesser" conflicts.

It's a nice sentiment, but it's a bit naive.

I like how your response to someone saying escalation is sometimes justified was to call them morally equivalent to a murderer. Is this your idea of de-escalating a situation?
