Oh I'm sorry, should we treat your violent fantasies as an actionable threat?
Calling people big meanie doo-doo-heads makes a dry reading difficult.
I didn't call anyone a big mean doo-doo-head.
I called anti-vaping crusaders, among other things, "toxic assholes - vile, loathsome, uncaring pieces of shit who hide behind an ill-fitting mask of health advocacy to feed their own pathetic and destructive need for self-affirmation through self-righteousness."
And I meant and mean every single, carefully chosen word of it. That's not just a random insult hurled in someone's general direction, but a very deliberate and carefully considered description of what I've come to see as defining characteristics of a particularly noxious and loathsome group of people.
Libel tends to be deliberate, yes. You're inventing motive and projecting it as hard as you can.
While calling for physical violence. If that's not just banter, please eat a ban.
Meanwhile: flavored cigarettes had this same damn argument, for the same damn reason. You know addiction is hell - why don't you care enough about stopping new addicts, to put up with nicotine that tastes like nicotine?
LOL
Libel? For an assessment of toxic, pretentious self-righteousness?
That's just about the most delicious irony I've ever encountered.
'You're secretly jerking off about abusing power!' is pretty fucking defamatory, yes. You spat a pile of essentialist name-calling to make shit up about the moustache-twirling evil of... acknowledging that kids vape.
Should I respond in kind by insisting you're actually a vaping industry shill with a sob story and some sockpuppets? Because that's the level of discourse you're glibly engaged in.
