Just trying to discourage people from making lazy stereotypes. Not sure what you're doing. It's cool that you clicked my profile to find where I live, though. Or weird? I dunno.

Let's be more specific than "weird": you're being belligerent and using the personally identifying information you can gather about someone to accost them on a tech forum.

No, it wouldn't.
Similarly, when someone says "What if it were your child?" , that isn't a threat -- it's a request for a change in perspective.
The idea is to impress upon the reader that they're not any safer than the victim; rather that they got lucky to be unaffected and should consider the positions and perspectives of the victims when coming to a judgement of the situation.

I don't think Don was trying to imply that he's in command of a Russian tank battalion.
(there is a thing to contemplate)
