Re: Discretion

*Applause* Thank you. Very well said.

You can disagree with someone, hate them with an incandescent rage if you like, but death threats are unacceptable. If you tried that shit in public then any cop would haul you away right then & there for it, so doing it *IN WRITING* where it can be used against you in a court of law? That's not just stupid, that's Microsoft Stupid.

Don't make death threats. It makes you out to be a waste of viable DNA & ripe for an extended incarceration for a psych eval to make sure you don't turn out to be a danger to yourself & others.

Unless, of course, the cop decides you're a terrorist & hands you over for "enhanced interrogation" in an undisclosed location.

Yes I know that's more an American government kind of thing, but that particular plague is spreading globally & nobody is safe from its taint anymore. =-(
