I'm not sure why punching a 350 lb mound of rage and hate who is using physical as well as verbal intimidation would be considered a mature or responsible response to this sort of behavior to anyone but internet tough guys.
If you get right down to it, there isn't a whole lot that's reasonable about the game of football. As a sport, it pretty much demands a hyper-aggressive, brutish mentality from most players, and especially linemen. So I'm not going to pretend I'm shocked to learn that a lot of the guys who play at the highest levels are basically neanderthals.
Positions like that give ammo to the people who claim that you're naive and out of touch if you think that Incognito was way out of line. There's plenty of room to both:
A) accept that an NFL locker room is a far less PC place than society at large, and
B) also maintain that Incognito went way, way over the line
