That seems like a good solution.
(Not sarcastic. It sounds like an appropriately proportional amount of retaliation.)

To be clear - since you seem to have a real hard time understanding this - me thinking you shouldn't clog up the legal system with minor complaints doesn't excuse the behavior you're complaining against.
Of course it's bad that people fight on national TV. And they should be punished more severely than they are. Like they should take the laughable two game suspensions for beating one's girlfriend and make that the standard punishment for fighting in public, and then make the punishment for domestic abuse closer to permaban. But bystanders don't need to get involved on a day to day basis - there are rules, written for pro games and unwritten for pickup games - to cover the minor ****.
Of course it's bad that people flip each other off. But sometimes people are in a new city and don't realize their lane is exit only and try to merge in and they look like the *******s that intentionally cruise down the exit only lane and cut in, and if the police got involved every single time someone cut someone off, we'd need 10x the number of policemen.
I don't know how to do the youtube link thing but a video of Michael Scott saying "let's hug it out, *****" to Dwight would be appropriate here.
