Jonathan, WHAT are you talking about? Mav is one of the least contentious
people around here! Be nice? Mav is always nice, except when there are
times when it's wrong to be nice. Do you have any idea what you're
talking about?
A) Mav summarily reverted a lot of my edits on the strength of some
bullshit Zionist claims that I was biased, anti-Semitic, and the like.
I assumed 24 was another person who had received that treatment from Mav.
B) The "threat" was obviously referring to the massive ethnic conflicts
that have been happening through history, including very recent
history, where groups without power wreak bloody vengeance when they finally
gain the upper hand.
I understood his quoted statement as a way of saying "be nice now, and when the
people who think like me have the power, they won't considers themselves to
have cause to purge and pogrom the people who think like you."
HOWEVER!
In private correspondance I have been told that 24 has a long history of
threatening extreme violence, and showing signs of being mentally
disturbed in a criminally dangerous way.
Given this, I hasten to add that my analysis of 24's statement lacks the
context of people who have dealt with 24 on an on-going basis. Erik may
very well have received death threats from 24, and I encourage him to
contact the police.
I encourage Erik to give the police more context than I saw in that
first post; the police, knowing 24 as much as I did (ie, not at all),
may very well interpret the post the same way I did; as harmless
crankery.
