That’s a pretty fine distinction you’re making there. Saying the person should be fed into a wood chipper is an incitement to violence, isn’t it? Would a reasonable person consider it a threat if the same poster kept printing similar comments? I think so. This wasn’t apparently just one comment posted in anger.
You adding nuance to the the original scenarios I laid does not change that.
And I stand by the distinction I made.
Has anyone ever actually fed anyone else into a wood chipper - or is that just the best known scene from the movie Fargo? Citing over-the-top cinematic killings is not a serious threat.
