I totally get what your saying, and I, personally will try to be mindful as that, but is it even possible to ask permission from someone who is only using a fandom user number? Also, this person was not a sokeefer, they were simply giving their perspective on the issue and Mint-chocolate-mallowmelt was using it as a discussion topic I think?

btw i know people who are more hot-tempered than others. Fitz is that way. Being prepared to slit someone's throat is violent, but like someone else said, may have been the necessary thing to do. Fitz and Biana fight a lot because they are close in age, but imagine if you had an older brother who you really looked up to. He was an example of what Fitz wanted to later achieve(in my opinion) because he demonstrated a successful career. Alvar graduated from Foxfire, helped Alden with some cases, and manifested with an ability while keeping his reputation. So far, Fitz has even exceeded him on many levels. When all of that suddenly goes away and you realize that your rolemodel and brother has betrayed your family and friends, imagine how angry you'd be, and not to mention... scared.

Fitz has followed closely in Alvar's footsteps, and he must have been terrified, what with all the 'legacy' stuff going on, that he would end up the same exact way. Fitz knew that Alvar deserved to die, and out of everyone, he was the only one that believed he would truly return to his state of being evil. Maybe Fitz wasn't just noticing the bad in people. He wasn't assuming the worst. He was so scared that if he turned out the same way, he would do the same thing. I believe that because of the whole experience for him, he will avoid that path specifically, and I believe that it has made him a more mindful person. That is a very strong quality to have in a relationship, if you can recognize the worst qualities in yourself and find ways to change them. Sure, he needs practice, but let's not get too hard on Fitz. If he had been as easy going as everyone else, Alvar would have been free'd and possible done much worse things. Fitz was right, and we cannot deny thise instincts.
