I'm not sure it's appropriate, but it's terribly, wonderfully fulfilling. (Does that make me petty and shallow? Maybe, but I can live with that.)

JAD says,

Hard question for me mary, it might be, I just wouldn't know it. Never been in a revenge situation.

Sagacious says,

I go along with the theory that success is the best form of revenge.

butterflyxxx says,

revenge versus forgiveness, a fierce contest.

butterflyxxx says,

don't think you should seek revenge if someone's hurt you but depending on the nature of the hurt, think it's quite oK to want accountability and justice and to make decisions about how you interact with that person in the future.

marymc says,

I forgive in the presence of true remorse.

oopsalittle says,

Yes if you don't get caught.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX says,

only if it's eaten cold.

madkin says,

I think it depends on the person. Some people can be okay with revenge and all that it entails and others...can't.
