You pull you tank question.

No, that's not ego, it's a rational response to someone behaving in a hawkish manner.

Why is it hawkish?

Why is it hawkish?

If you have been asked as per the example I gave, to not make the rest of the groups experience worse/harder/painful/unfun pick and adjective, and you intentionally do it anyway, for you own personal benefit at the cost of others, that's hawkish behaviour. Now the rest of hawk and dove plays out the way everyone else says, vote kick the problem person, aka doves eventually chasing out hawks. However I was suggesting tit for tat as a far quicker way of dealing with the problem, it causes no harm to the rest of the group only the person that instigates suffers, they leave on their own or stop behaving in such a way, the party doesn't have to wait as long to be rid of the behaviour.

Okay, what's the personal benefit?

EDIT:
And what's the collective problem, now that I think about it more?
