This is not a flame; this is a clear threat of physical violence.
This is something we'd expect from Richard "the St00pid" Bullis, or
from Edmond Heinz Wollmann - not the words of a 'marginal kook', or
from someone who is merely involved in a Usenet flamewar.

Sean, Kali recently stated that she was considered the most reasonable
and judicious of the kookologists. If by that she is contrasting
herself with you, K-Bitch and ****stain, you can imagine the
difficulty I or anybody else might have in giving her any points for
that claim.

You have no idea of the extent to which Steve Chaney has taken matters
to RL over the past 12 years wrt me, and you have no idea of the
extent to which his raging insanity has caused him to make unspeakably
nasty claims about my children and my grandchild.

Who cares? This is usenet.

Did you read the first sentence? When matters are taken into real life, why
is it so unreasonable to respond in real life? Miguel has merely written
on usenet what he would like to do in real life in response to what someone
has done to him in real life.

This whole "it's only words on a screen" is hogwash because it neglects any
context. It's not such a black and white issue. An appropriate response
depends on what those words are, and whose screen on which they appear. For
example, what if those words happen to contain numbers as well, such as a
SSN and credit card information, and those words appear on the screen of
identity thieves? Have a read on this identify theft victims story and then
tell me that Miguel or any other kook on your list deserves a similar fate?
What if the "words on a screen" are a complete fabrication and appear the
the screen of your employer, or if you're self employeed, potential
customers.

Words on a screen can have real life impact, and to categorically label
someone as a kook because he/she writes on usenet what he would like to do
in real life, is absurd. IMHO, the fact that Miguel has been busting the
balls and trolling kookologist with great succes is the only reason that
he's been nominated for one of your infantile awards.
