more about the other day, asking your opinions 

Just to check;

if one housemate kicks the other out of the house, or one housemate slugs another in the face, is it a safe assumption that both housemates have seriously, seriously wanted to take those actions for weeks, now?

@Leucrotta Not that I'm much of a social wolf, but I would think so.

@Leucrotta Not *necessarily*, but it's definitely a sign trouble had been brewing beforehand, either way. Actions like that tend to be impulsive in and of themselves, but they don't normally come out of nowhere either.

@Leucrotta

Given what else I know about the one who did the slugging I AM REALLY NOT SURE.

@Leucrotta not really. It’s a feedback loop, where tension leads to fear of violence leading to tension, leading to violence. Totally unjustified fear of violence can’t escalate to violence in this manner; partially unjustified can, but “partially unjustified” is sort of meaningless when tensions are rising _anyway_ making it only a matter of when, retroactively justifying the kickout because tensions about pending violence are not okay to live in.
