So, Nate took down the avatar of him pointing a gun at "me", and now we have some dude at a table pointing something random across a table. I guess I'm missing the joke on me? Seems like he backed down? Perhaps he's trying to figure out a way to copy Bens' work from BE and get that press pass back?
A few days later, with some time to reflect, PapaG has convinced me. It was a threat. I will testify to that effect in court, too. This is a night of great disillusionment. We are a failed experiment. We conceived this society in service to the highest-minded ideals, but we've descended into petty thuggery, where armed moderators stalk innocent posters and it only elicits amusement from onlookers. We used to be a great and noble people. Yes, I will testify in court.
I don't think that there are any legal ramifications for saying that you're going to kill someone on an online forum. It might be against a forum's terms of service, but that doesn't make it illegal (either criminally or civilly). Not that NateBishop said that, but even if he had I doubt there's anything that anyone would do. It was all just PapaG being a drama queen and playing the victim again. Ed O.
