Neo, here is the text in question, unaltered.
>If you persist in the type of vindictive posts you have been sending, I will consider you an enemy and take appropriate action in the way of words on this, or any other, thread. If you want to ignore PROLIFE, that is an option open to you, but any more of what I have been reading, will bring swift retaliation.<
As a more or less disengaged party, I can see that reading this as "back off - or else!", the definitive threat, is reasonable and prudent. Haqihana has suggested a more benign interpretation, but my gut read is that this was pretty naked intimidation. My hat is off to E for having the guts to call haqihana on this.
Haqihana, I have no quarrel with you. But just as E overstepped the boundaries of "nice" with her musings regarding PROLIFE's mental fitness, I say that you crossed the line with the text I've reproduced here. Maybe both parties need to take one step back here. I admit that I'm "horning in", but it is a feature of these threads that, like a BBQ, anyone close enough to the grill gets a say. |
