Go figure. You seem to think by "button pushing" someone has the upper hand. First of all, button pushing is not necessarily that at all. What someone thinks is pushing someone's buttons might just be someone acting outrageously and ignorantly. They might actually think they are button pushing but all they're doing is acting like some sort of fool. So when others see these bozos they naturally have some impulse to let said bozos know they are making a fool of themselves. Simple. The button pushers are actually the ones wasting their own time while the others simply marvel at the stupidity of it. Now, you go do your sums.
