There is a special place in Purgatory

[ShadowHM]

I'll admit that I've done some vandalism in the past (including expensive stuff such as slashing tires, breaking windows, and the like), though all of it was based on wrath and not on some kind of perverse pleasure reaped via mindless destruction.

I was going to let this slide, but it has been niggling at me, so I may as well go ahead and ask.

What exactly is the mitigating difference between vandalism based on wrath and general vandalism?

Did you do it in front of the person with whom you were angry? Did they know it to be retribution for a specific deed they did? Did they vandalize something of yours, so it met the 'eye for an eye' definition of justice?

I have never once felt sufficiently angry with someone and sufficiently cowardly about it to indulge in anonymous vandalism of their property. I still cannot fathom how it happens or what motivation there could be for it.

So, indulge me, please, and explain how it could be justifiable, as you imply.
