It's always helpful to remember that it's not how someone treats their equals that tells you who they are. It's how they treat those who are weaker than them. Bragging about how he loves punching down is like bragging about being a bully: Chappelle might think it makes him look cool, but it simply makes him look pathetic.

One of the pitfalls of creating pithy terms for nuanced concepts is that people will turn them on their head. To wit, whoever coined the 'punching' nomenclature did more punching than anyone.
