Even paranoids have enemies... ;-)

We don't know who posted the threats and we don't know who posted the responses. When you get right down to it, this whole thing, both ends of it could have been their people at least in part.

On this forum we need to make comments that can't be used as an excuse to take us down. Even when our buds make questionable comments, we need to get them off the forum A.S.A.P.

We not only do not support or advocate violence, we don't want to even present the appearance of supporting it. It's important that we don't.

Oh, I know, and agree with you - However, we must also keep in mind that we must not abandon our beliefs just because some idiots don't like what they are - they say we are anti-immigration, for example, when we are mostly 'anti-ILLEGAL immigration'.

We can ensure we post nothing that is seen as advocating violence, but we must also make sure we stop letting the other side frame the debate so that we are always on the defensive.

As for me, I won't advocate violence, but I WILL speak my beliefs, and if some scumbag leach on society doesn't like it, tough :0)

If the two comments in the article are examples of what could be used to "take us down", we might as well close up shop right now. I don't consider either one over-the-top or even mildly inappropriate.

Now, if someone had said something like "Let's shoot anyone that throws a bagel at us", that I could see being deleted.
