Was that a threat to JasonC on your part?

Nope. Just reality. Perhaps you haven't been paying attention, but the administration has been trying very hard to make it clear that their policy of going to war with Iraq is going to INCREASE the threat of terrorism on our soil. Consequently, if someone is predisposed to worship altars to death and destruction, rather than revere a monument to liberty, they are likely to get the opportunity.

Or was it just a cowardly threat-by-hypothetical-proxy ("some abstract unnamed third party will probably attack you for what you just said")?

Whatever.

I'm just curious.

You're something, alright.

Maybe, but you might have noticed that they're still going to do it. This is to be contrasted with your attitude that one should never do something (such as speak one's mind, which is what JasonC did) if it might Increase Some Abstract Threat From Third Parties. I was trying to discover whether the latter idea was what your comment was based on. I think I have my answer, thanks (namely, you weren't directly threatening JasonC, you were threatening him by hypothetical proxy, as I said).

Consequently, if someone is predisposed to worship altars to death and destruction, rather than revere a monument to liberty, they are likely to get the opportunity.

??? Can you bring this down to earth for me? You're off somewhere in metaphor-land.
