If we're going to veer into dumb analogies again, this would be more like driving to work after somebody leaves you a voicemail saying "I'm going to be suddenly braking in front of your car for your entire commute".
- dimino 10y agoMy comment wasn't an analogy. I'm pointing out that everything has risk, and if your response is to have panic attacks, you are not reacting the way a healthy person reacts.
- zyxley 10y agoReacting with stress and worry to an implicit threat of physical or social harm is exactly like a healthy person.
- dimino 10y agoI agree, however there wasn't a threat of implicit physical or social harm, and this reaction goes above and beyond "stress and worry".
- zyxley 10y ago> however there wasn't a threat of implicit physical or social harm "We are going to try and question you without your lawyer" is absolutely an implicit threat.
