Before you go on attacking others for being cowards, what would you do if you started receiving death threats because you chose to speak publiy about an issue which an extremist political movement frowns upon?

And what about if people were calling your spouse and kids with death threats? Which is also something that is happening.
Every faux pas will earn you a death threat these days. They are trite and meaningless.

Taking anyone on the far right/left seriously is like giving in to a child throwing a tantrum. People need to stop being so spineless and develop some convictions. We are regressing to a point where people are afraid to exercise their freedom of speech.
