I'm the manager of several Reddit communities and a few gaming communities, so far I've banned ~3,400 people from using these services for periods of time ranging from one day to 1,300 permanent bans. In this time I've met with a fairly large number of other people in a similar position to me.
The thing almost all of them have in common is that you have to try to be harsh in order to be able to curate a kind community that people actually want to be a part of. When I see you're replying in an equally harsh way to the first person I personally see you as being bad as that person. So what if they started it? That's an argument that small children use.
Reddit is a really toxic place, as are a lot of the games that I host servers on. It really easily goes to people being rude to each other which kills the mood for everyone involved.
