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.

Actually, I can think of at least one type of situation where this isn't true, though it seems unwise to explain it in public and in any case it's still not something you'd want associated with LW, or in fact happening at all in most cases.
