The great thing about the Internet, usually, is that you can't touch the people on the Internet and they can't touch you. Which is to say, it's in everyone's best interest to avoid threats of even cartoon violence. These things are too easily misunderstood, and this journal is too often a target of intense hostility for me to encourage such.

Rhetorically-based, metaphorical evisceration, however, is always welcome.

yes, but it's less fun when they can't respond and display their further stupidity. :D Nevertheless, point taken (and apology extended), with only minor pouting. I'm too happy. :D

I was just waiting for the "you're free to marry anyone of the opposite gender" line, because I have BEEN the opposite gender in that arrangement, and I would have handed him his (metaphorical) liver.

I was thinking about the bit about "especially an unelected [judge]," and the fact that, unelected or not, he was appointed by an elected representative of the people. And that judges (esp at that level) _have_ to be not elected, because otherwise they have to bow to majority opinion to stay elected, which defeats their ability/function to review laws without bias, etc.

But that's probably too complicated, as it requires having at least high school civics background, which that idiot (clearly a wingnut troll) doesn't have.
