ace, I didn't answer the question because it's unanswerable without further context. And for the record, I haven't thought a lot about it in itself; more about the set up and what's wrong with it.
Okay so let's go all Sherlocky or maybe Socratic with this.
Ah, shit. Let's just answer the questions:
"Is this also false equivalence?"
I don't know. Equivalent to what?
"Some people on here were all about restricting violent rhetoric, but would they claim this is violent rhetoric?"
Yes they would, but I'm not certain they will.
Satisfied? Didn't think so. Neither am I, which is why I have responded the way I did.
Seriously, am I missing something? Please help me out.
