So, 1. I call you a Nazi collaborator.
And 2. I say, “This is what will happen to Nazi collaborators.”
Then 3. I post a photo of some kind of partisans in some woods shooting some unidentified person, allegedly, according to T.R., a Nazi collaborator.
And that is NOT a death threat, to you? Really? Is that the new standard of acceptable discourse on FR?

First off, you don’t need a #3, because #3 is dependent on #2, and is just an illustration of #2. The consequence of #1 is #2.
So, let’s take your proposed sequence and apply it to Timber Rattler’s posts.
First off, he DIDN’T call you a Nazi collaborator. He didn’t call you ANY KIND of collaborator. He merely pointed out how, historically, collaborators have been dealt with. And, apparently he posted a picture from the movie Red Dawn, which, to my recollection, did not deal with Nazis at all; but, rather, Cuban and Soviet communists. So, collaborators depicted in that movie would necessarily have been communist collaborators. Then, in response to a comment from someone named DDFD, Timber Rattler posted a picture of what purports to be unidentified partisans executing alleged Nazi collaborators. And from this you conclude that Timber Rattler is somehow calling you a…what? A communist collaborator (Red Dawn)? A Nazi collaborator (the partisan/execution picture)? The two are mutually exclusive, aren’t they? The eternal war between Nazis and Communists? It is clear that what Timber Rattler was pointing out was what generally happened to collaborators IN GENERAL. But, again, he did NOT call YOU a collaborator. Without that, there is no “there” there. There is no #2 and there is no #3, relative to and as a direct consequence of #1.
You jumped to a conclusion that Timber Rattler called YOU a collaborator. He didn’t.
You have a very bad habit of jumping to conclusions, and drawing faulty analogies.
Is THAT the new standard of acceptable discourse on FR? Your “Damn the torpedoes! Full rush to judgment ahead?”
For you, maybe.
