I’ll put this as politely as I can. Only a simpleton or deranged person offers such wild, exaggerated extremes as the only two viable responses to an insult. For example, the leaders of North Korea threatens all sorts of nuclear holocaust on the likes of Sony Pictures for creating a silly film lampooning their regime. Jihadis threaten beheading for unflattering cartoons.
Now, you don’t really want people to think you’re in the same nutty group do you?
The devil does not care if he has pushed you off the path to the left or right, so long as he does push you off the path.
