You fail to see a problem with this?

aren't there peasants somewhere you could be napalming?

"Just disagreement of the usual vigorous sort" includes that?

It's FADG jail stuff - it's debased and insulting. I suppose it's possible to make it more personal but I don't see how.

UW was so enraged he posted a PM from Raymond Duray, (who never thought of an insult or fantasy he could not transmit), who was banned from this thread ages ago. It's far beyond "discussion" when someone calls you a war criminal. What's to talk about? There isn't room for discussion, is there?

UW's response: "Ray, lets get together for coffee and discuss this." Hilarious!

But no, somehow you turn this into a threat. So where is the promise of physical assault, guns, and grenades, etc? He didn't threaten anyone.

UW was far too subtle in his reply to RD and far too open in his opinion of RD.

He tells Marcos to go to hell, he wants to spit on him, and Marcos tells him to go and napalm peasants.

So UW gets 2 weeks for expressing contempt and Marcos does not.

Nice.

Strong feelings are OK so long as they're PC, eh?
