@St_Rev it's a form of taking control of the situation, which isn't necessarily constructive but definitely understandable
@schakalsynthetc Dunno, seems to me the bird raises half of a valid point and then the rest of the thread is 'yes' 'no' 'yes' 'no'

@St_Rev the half he didn't raise is the one I'm interested in, is the problem -
@schakalsynthetc Advocating real harm as punishment for bad speech is uh not something I'm down with. -
@St_Rev I'm not down with retribution. -
@schakalsynthetc I'm totally down with retribution. For acts. Not for states of being. -
@St_Rev if deterrence is also a goal then eventually it gets hard to keep the two clearly seperated, tho -
@St_Rev otoh saying "deterrence isn't a valid goal" is a principled answer to that -
@schakalsynthetc This is the kind of difference that can be productively discussed--after the raging and terror are set aside.
