No.  Eric bothers me because he voices opinion without the benefit of
reason.  You bother me because you misread what others have said.
Neither of you scare me; you are incapable of harming me, or anyone
else, by way of your postings, and are without any power to affect me in
my real life.  What reason could I possibly have to feel fear?

You certainly have the freedom to continue to post here.  What one person
says does not affect that - or do you think that he could really shut
you up, all by himself?  His was not an attempt to censor you, but an
attempt to get you to censor yourself.  You are free to refuse, if you
like.

BTW - what "type" is that?  Concerned, if a tad overzealous, net.citizen?
Reasonable person?
