>if you can't handle the consequences then you're not fit for life

This is pretty harsh. If you applied similar harshness to your own actions, do you think you'd approve?

I would. I hold no one else up to a bar higher than I hold myself. And I set the bar high. I've got no time for whiners and losers and this student's behavior is beyond the pale.

It depends on the action. If I were in the same situation as the student, I might have been slightly annoyed. I might even have been murderous.

But I would calm down after 15 minutes and realize he was right.

It always happens with my instructors.
