    Counterpoint: there's actually a difference between being snarky on twitter and assembling a gang of 15 guys to ambush someone and dismember them.https://twitter.com/gmelucci/status/1095719476740407298 …

    Attacks on the press are all the same, whether they're done with Twitter vitriol or a bone saw. The goal is silence, the weapon is fear. Your attacks are not considered, you don't even read the stuff you're condemning.

        What if the person in question has really been owned, though?

        Yeah, but it could be like a couple hundred people on Twitter so that adds up

        I think you're underestimating the perils of a life-threatening ratio.

        Actually ... at least some of the 15 guys will have read some of the things written, so I guess that makes them morally superior to me, with my pastime of being snarky toward piecework propaganda accounts on Twitter. By that standard anyway. Will have to think about that one.

        Pretty sure a bone saw will leave a permanent mark.

        Speaking when not spoken to is a bone saw? God what self serving hyperbole
