And everybody told you, all the time, and you chose not to listen. That's your choice, no worries.

But threatening physical harm to the con man you fell for is just not ok.

Sorry, “everybody” told me? “All the time”? That’s news to me; lots of people seem to get suckered by Gemini Earn. Yes there were a few comments we can look back at in hindsight, but its not like anyone in my friend group told me anything.

Also, it’s hardly a “threat”; it was a bit of hyperbole, which nearly everyone here seems to understand (including you, I think), but let’s just pretend my statement was 100% sincere; what danger am I causing exactly? I very clearly say that I do not want to meet him. What kind of cartoon-like circumstances are going to lead to me meeting this guy if I am not seeking him out?

Actually, threatening physical harm to a con man has a long and storied tradition in this country; but more than that if SBF had mugged this guy I don't think anyone would call a physical response a bad thing, but because he mugged him with words you're going to posture about this is "just not ok"? Come on.
