That's like saying it's okay to call someone a fag if they are a homophobe.

It absolutely is not morally sound, but it clearly feels right to many. We regularly justify these attacks because such people seem to deserve any and all suffering for their values and misdeeds.

That has nothing to do with why we avoid such slurs; they harm people OTHER than whomever you are trying to harm.

That makes sense. I agree.
