Fortunately, as this is a forum, we can scroll up and read. You very plainly responded to Ratbastid's post about the nonviolent protester in Tienanmen Square and Gandhi by claiming that they were martyrs like suicide bombers.

We were talking about nonviolence, and The_Jazz has a strong suspicion that the man in Tienanmen Square was tortured and killed. We don't even know if the man is dead or not, so calling him a martyr is incorrect. Rat was simply postulating that,
if he did die, he did so as a nonviolent protester. You tried to reframe the conversation from nonviolence to martyrdom and you did so by comparing Gandhi and the man in Tienanmen Square to suicide bombers.
Also, what Rat said.
