It seems like a disastrously bad idea for Twitter to make moderation decisions based on how many dead people they think are on some particular tweet's side. "Sorry, we've only assigned you 5 bodies - only movements with 20 or more bodies are allowed to send this tweet."

the context of my remark is:

1. ban people for threatening violence

2. what if both sides are?

3. then consider which side is killing people

But in this case, both sides are killing people and acknowledge that they're doing so. Your comment seemed to suggest that we could further resolve the dispute with something like

4. count up how many people each side is killing, and only ban sides with a large number

and that's what doesn't make sense to me.
