The way I read the original post, this guy was being an ------- on
purpose. He was opening his door into the Imperial's owner's car on
purpose.
In my opinion, to respond in kind is entirely justified. What goes
around comes around. If he doesn't like the response, let him move his
vehicle. He's the one who started the "sophomoric" actions. Why
reward his behavior by moving your own vehicle? Let him figure out
that there is a consequence to destructive behavior-- the consequence
is, if you damage my car, your car gets damaged. Simple enough even
for an ------- to understand.
