I care about truth more than agreement and moderation on HN tends to come in waves - right now the comments you're replying to are on +3, +1 and +2.

'Snarky comments' are not violence, that is a silly thing to say, if you are old enough to write you should be aware of that.

Fine, put "side jabs to strangers on trains" on the far right.

Whatever your idea of "least amount of actual violence" is.

The point is: It's a spectrum with very light offenses on the other end.

Imposing death penalty for generic violence shows there's absolutely no understanding of that.

Hard to argue with someone who can only see things from one side.
