Let me put it this way:
  If someone acts like an asshole toward me, my wife, my family, or my friends, I am going to be a prick toward them. 
 If someone does not act like an asshole toward the aforementioned people, I typically won't be a prick toward them. 
 Except for some wacko turn the other cheek Christians, I think most normal everyday people would have the same philosophy.

You're saying the same thing:
 
 Unless people are nice to you, you're a prick. [/b]
