Came here to voice my frustration about the muddying of the waters and the quality of this article. Took me a few minutes of cynical reading to understand that he did not send the letters, someone else did.
- hobs 3y agoIf your very public words can be mailed to someone and mistaken as a fairly death threat to them do you A) Rethink your life or B) Retreat to how this is not technically a death threat and you did not technically send it to them?
- mwigdahl 3y agoPor que no los dos?
- lupusreal 3y agoIn America, it is a legal and popular pass-time to wish politicians would die.

- hobs 3y agoYou've chosen option 2, good for you!
- lupusreal 3y agoIf I say that your argument is counter to the principles of a free society, does that count as a death threat because some unhinged militia type might agree with me then shoot you down in the street?
- hobs 3y agoThere's no argument, just a moral judgement, that's the great part. So, in that case, no!
- rozap 3y agoAnd Donald Trump didn't storm the capitol, someone else did. He still incited it.
- elpakal 3y agoYea, I'm not saying he didn't incite it. I'm saying the article didn't try very hard to make it clear he didn't write the letters.
- ahahahahah 3y agoYeah, it sure wasn't obvious from the very first thing on the page where it says the letter started with "Garry Tan was right", I'm surprised you were able to figure it out after just a few minutes.
- p_j_w 3y ago>Took me a few minutes of cynical reading to understand that he did not send the letters It didn't take me that. I knew it within moments of reading the article and it seems the vast majority of readers didn't have this problem.
