In all cases, the problem with "retaliatory" oppression is the same problem with all oppressive remarks, they impact more than just the individual(s) you are arguing with. In this case, there were too many inapropriate statements being used by people with more than two perspectives on the issue. As others have pointed out here, one of the consequences is that legitimate conerns get forgotten and left out as people try to figure who did what wrong. And too many people cannot separate out the discussion of which "side's" behavior is wrong from the discussion of which "side's" perspective is right.
