I agree with this fining and loss of non-profit status. An organization whos members are akin to non-violent ELF should not be funded without taxation.

When do we apply the same principle to all of the Southern Churches which encourage people to engage in outright hostility toward abortion doctors?

You won't get much of an argument from me. Every little Biship or Priest or Reverend that espouses that Abortion Doc's should be given a free ticket to hell, should be labeled as an accessory to murder if they are clipped. Particually if the accused is a fundie of a simular relegion.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red
