More of an analogy. If you kidnap US citizens then (officially) the US won't negotiate with terrorists to set the hostages free. People shouldn't try negotiating with reddit admins.

Because they took someone hostage? Seriously, even as an analogy that is ridiculous.

It’s not odd at all, it’s a common saying in situations like this or even less “serious” situations.

It's hyperbole. I'm dying to know whether you already understood that.
