Errr... I kind of just thought he was a moron. One way I do try to use the ways of Aikido generally, and as evidenced through Seagal, is to not let those sorts of things simmer inside me. I do not waste my energy on negativity and hatefulness. The guy can be a moron for all I care. It is not up to me to harbour bad thoughts about him.
A short while back, I posted a quote that I found on the Aikikai Foundation web site, and I think it is worth repeating here, in a longer context:
A pure budo comes with the unification of technique, body and heart. The budo, which will manifest itself, does not depend upon the technique, but rather upon the heart of the practitioner.
The aim of Aikido is a kindness of heart expressed through this spirit of budo.
Here are some thoughts on the spirit of Aikido.
Aiki is love.
Budo is the path of the warrior. Combined with the spirit of heaven and earth in your heart, you can fulfill your life's destiny with unconditional love for everything.
Aiki seeks to skillfully strike down the ego and inherent insincerity in battling an enemy. Aiki is the path of forgiveness and enlightenment.
The goal of Aikido training is not perfection of a step or skill, but rather improving one's character according to the rules of nature. One becomes "resilient" inside yet this strength is expressed softly.
