Same argument could be applied to parents who brutally beat their kids to stop certain behaviours. Which doesn’t necessarily mean you’re wrong, but that the overall morality of being an asshole to encourage some greater good is complicated.
Though I’d also wonder at the motivation. Was it to teach a lesson the only way OP knew how or because he was pissed at being defied and wanted to dish out some abuse and call it karma?
