Two things are true at the same time:
- Calling the FBI over someone posting about the concept of hammer-covered car exploding near you (not the actual threat to do so) is…wow. I have no words.2. Making such a post on a site owned by the target of the post, in the middle of getting your account reviewed, is not going to end well for your account.
I’ve seen a lot of people counter the first point by bringing up the second. But despite the fact that the second point is true, such a bizarre level of public punching-down is unwarranted. This wasn’t an actual threat of violence. Drawing attention to the latter point to eclipse the former point isn’t a well-balanced response, even before taking into account the context leading up to the incident.
