Satisfying or productive? In a way, an expansion on the idea of stopping yourself from uttering that clever, snarky comeback.  Definitely might be satisfying, but unlikely to be productive. More likely to be harmful: creating a conflict, exacerbating one, or laying the groundwork for trouble by creating ill feelings.

In addition to snarky comments, consider actions, inactions, delays.  From a conflict perspective some tempting words and acts may feel good – in a bad way – and be quite damaging.
