Actually to be honest I was going to absolutely agree about punching him, but I wrote his name down and then it became a concrete idea of me punching a specific person, and I kind of lost the desire to do it. Like I hate this design pattern, but it isn’t like punching someone who insists on smoking in my car. Gah, life is complicated.

I think this is why people accuse the Internet of making society more violent, because we like to use language more like a standup comedy routine of hyperbole, but surprisingly few actually would act on it. Saying you would like to punch the guy is just an attempt at purple prose for many, a sort of joke about how something annoys you.
