Two peas in a pod: Abortion restrictionists and gun control advocates

18. I am sorry for you

You must suffer great difficulty in your communication in real life.

Any speech you don't like is intimidation.

I gave examples of speech that are plainly designed to intimidate.

From this you conclude that if I hear someone say they are going to paint their front door orange, I will accuse them of intimidation.

And then I would try to ban orange doors.

It truly is sad that anyone might be as unable to participate in everyday conversation as someone who draws such conclusions must be.

Why would intimidation be protected free speech?

I don't even know what that could mean. Is intimidation a crime? If somebody knocks your drink over in a bar and you say "Apologize!" and the person says "You wanna fight?" and you stand up and show your full 6'6 250-pound self and the person skulks away, do you go to jail?

If you tell the local store that you aren't going to shop there if they won't let you wear your gun in the aisles, and they take down their no-guns sign, do you get arrested?

Headscratch.

shrill rant

Good one. In a thread that takes women's rights as one of its topics, you call the only actual woman in the discussion, in response to a post that contained nothing that even bore a passing resemblance to shrill or a rant, shrill and ranting.

Good choice.
