But I would still consider that within the ambit of toleration.

But when you say the "peace treaty" does not apply - that sounds like war footing. It sounds like someone to whom ordinary, fundamental moral considerations do not apply. So I am suspicious that it is you who are motte and bailying between "violently suppress" and "shun"

A reasonable suspicion induced by the choice of terminology in the article, and one of its weaknesses. No, I do not support preemptive uses of force. And I don't equate speech with a use of force, as I've seen others do.

This article is talking about a "peace treaty" that prevents us from being "at each others' throats." It's clearly about violence, not about imposing social costs/shunning.

that language seemed pretty unambiguously metaphorical (I mean, "we're targeting this guy in our election campaign" is unambiguously not about literally drawing a bead on him with a weaopn), but see

um, idk if you are aware, but queer folks tend to have higher experiences of violence *and* be socialized against effective self-defense, so. It does not seem particularly Bad to depict effective self-defense?

The point isn't whether it's bad, the point is whether the article is about violence or non-violent social consequences.

Ah, okay. Well then 'non-violent'. I could have sworn I already said that. Did I forget?

We were discussing the article and whether or not it was a motte-and-bailey to say "oh, well, it's obviously not about violence - it's all metaphor."
