Former head of the South Carolina Republican Party Todd Kincannon had some things to say about Iraq war veteran Michael Prysner:

"I wish the Iraqis had better aim with his ass," he later added. "Yes, I hope if that guy is ever in combat again, the enemy splatters his brains JFK-style. He deserves it."

I'm not a particular fan of Hugo Chavez, a difference of opinion over whom this exchange apparently started, but I've been in a number of conversations recently about civility and respect, especially in the context of the aforementioned Adria Richards and PyCon situation, and thinking about how we can better call out the assholes who make death threats and escalate quickly.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
