When I make a statement that I am "above" a certain behavior, it is never with an attitude of being "holier than thou" - rather, it is with the hope that my friends will hold me accountable if I slip from that goal. Not that I want to be slammed, of course - any decent friend knows how to tell me in a way that doesn't appear to be an attack. But they should be honest with me when I'm guilty of self-delusion.
Then there are those incidents where people accuse me of behavior that they clearly are displaying themselves. And I must bite my tongue, because I have no desire to be the "b-word" in the situation. But, damned if it ain't tempting, when the situation presents itself on a silver platter with a big friggin' bow on top and stuff.
I will just express this here, not be direct with the person who was so incredibly hateful to me and to someone else, and try to just let it go at that. I think I can manage. After all, I have so many more important things to think about. :)
