Yeah it's paper-thin post-hoc rationalization. Being an asshole is mild ongoing trauma for people unless you've hooked it into a nice narcissistic injury. Behind every act of trolling is an unforgotten humiliation.

Entrepreneurship/polemic/journalism is roughly the exact combo I'm going for. Good disentanglement.

I found Gregory Berns book Satisfaction a useful read for this topic. Resentment/spite operates at pleasure principle level (seek pleasure/avoid pain). Satisfaction hooks into anticipation based motivation.
