Please be do not cross the line into threatening people, whether implicitly or not. I know it’s a subject which touches on emotions. But we should all respect the groundrules that Pajamas Media has set.

Let’s talk about how politics can be used to change things. Politics is the way the system is worked. Maybe one day it will break for reasons beyond anyone’s control. But until that day we must work within its confines.

I went back and read the comments and could not immediately identify the offender that prompted this mild, but serious rebuke.

The two that came immediately before it were mine and a response to mine.

I asked the younger generation to make sure that my epitaph did not read that I died of bureaucratic red tape, filled with good intentions. (or, perhaps by bureaucrats that were masking good intentions, and actually had political expediency in mind)

A health condition + being older in this country is not a combination plate you want to order…from the menu of options available in the new Alice’s Restaurant.

A commenter followed with a “first, let’s get rid of all the lawyers” type comment to mine.

Not sure which prompted the rebuke…or if there was another one I missed. In all the hundreds of comments made on PJM by me or about mine…not once has a threat raised or been raised as far as I know…so, perhaps I missed it elsewhere.

One never knows, however…if a word or phrase is read in a manner wholly unintended as written.
