@TroopK:
I must say I see insults, bad language and ad hominem comments from all sides. Quite what any of it has to do with politics or debate passes me by
I think you will find that now that the cork has been put in the hole, this group will finally be a lot more civil.
It's actually quite ironic in that people who have threatened me in my life all wound up destroying themselves.
Here's a few examples:
Many years ago, this one crazy woman was trying to convince people that LASIK was a bad idea. She would post false information daily for years. She is how I found out what a nut Kathy Griffin is. She once pulled a stunt in which she lured me to a meeting at a restaurant pretending to be someone who wanted to have LASIK done. Instead, she sent this very well known psycho guy who was pretty much a LASIK terrorist. I knew what that guy looked like because I saw his mugshots. When I arrived at the restaurant, I was slightly suspicious - so I parked far away - and walked to it. I had my wifi laptop with me. After I discovered the woman was not there, I got this message roaring with laughter over how I had been set up. I looked around and there was only 1 person outside watching me. It was that guy in the mugshots. Apparently, that woman sent that guy thinking he would beat me up. When I looked at him, he realized I recognized him, and he literally RAN away. That guy got nabbed for violating his parole by leaving the state he was from, and put in jail. The woman was so nuts, that her business went bankrupt, her kids hated her, and her husband divorced her.
Another time, my adopted sister was plotting to have her boyfriend kill me. Her boyfriend is a drug dealer. I heard what her plan was. She even purchased a .38 caliber gun to kill me with, and was keeping it in her backpack in her car. She didn't know that I knew that she brought her backpack to her friend's house in her car to have a lesbian sleepover. I went there, I had a key to her car, and took the gun from her backpack and disposed of it. That girl wound up getting her ass cut off from financial support. She was getting about $30,000 a year.. now she gets nothing.
I've had 4 other similar incidents with other people, and they all wound up destroying their own lives.
