Yeah seriously. What if violence is the right thing to do?

Then discussing it on the public Internet is the wrong thing to do. I can't compare it to anything but juvenile male locker-room boasting.

Then discussing it on the public Internet is the wrong thing to do.

Also, implying that violence is best discussed in private, versus not being discussed at all. It's like saying in public "But let's talk about our illegal activities in a more private venue." There should be no perception of LW being associated with such, period (.)
