Someone was being an asshole online and I took it upon myself to engage with him and bring it to an end. As time went on it was clear he started to retract and be less confident or aggressive, started to seem very regretful but was still trying to defend himself, until eventually he just stopped commenting. I kind of feel bad about it but I also feel like this sort of thing is necessary so that he will think twice about being an asshole to people online in the future.
Should I not have done that?
You shouldn't have done that.
It's not a great feeling but it had to be done.

Someone was being an asshole online, I kind of out-talked him and now I feel bad. What are your thoughts?
Not at all. He kind of got it coming if he was being an asshole to you online without any valid reason. He's a big boy, he'll get over it. Don't worry.
