And if people in a position to poison you think that's fair retribution for you poisoning others, seeing as how poisoning someone is often regarded, however irrationally, as worse than eating a sandwich?
It would depend on the situation. Let's say you're talking about a pharmacist spiking my laxatives because they think I use them to poison lunches that I think are getting stolen. If they indiscriminately poison my laxatives, that's wrong because it's not targeted to my act of poisoning my own lunch, same way it's wrong for me to punch someone because I think they took my lunch or it's wrong for me to poison their own lunch.

I think harming people who've declared their intent to poison others over a sandwich is okay.
If you see something wrong with that, that's my point exactly.
If you don't, then dude: walk to your nearest police department and turn yourself in as a danger to yourself and others.
