Yes and no- most people who discriminate are doing so based on irrelevant characteristics such as race, religion, gender, etc., which show that they're bigoted and ignorant. To discriminate against someone who discriminates, however, is based on personality. You are not treating this person differently because of generalizations, but because they themselves have displayed a negative mentality that directly shows what kind of a person they ar. So yes, you're technically discriminating, but the reasoning behind it is entirely different so I don't think it would make you a hypocrite necessarily.

No, because you're "discriminating" for a legitimate reason.
