Given the subjective nature of 'terror', that seems sufficient for me.

Given some people's willingness to abuse our deference to their subjective experiences, no, it's not. My comment was not "use or threat of violence against non-combatants to induce fear as a means of pursuing political or social goals". This isn't even debatable.

People have criticized me for the extreme comparisons. I hope they can now see what I'm dealing with. If Alicorn really has such terror at seeing a general comment under her posts with my name on it, she should have thought about that before posting in "my" thread, not when her Machiavellian instincts kicked in and saw a chance to play victim.

Get some perspective, please.
