So you do have an issue with the post after all. Okay. Personally, I did not interpret the post as a threat. However I can see why it can be read as a threat, that is a valid concern.

To answer your question, yes, you need to complain. We don't always notice things or see things the same way you do. We are humans not robots. You are already voicing your concerns so I'm not asking you to do anything different than you're already doing, I'd just rather not derail this thread.

I interpreted it as a joke, because Windy has previously taken statements he disagrees with and extended them to a reductio ad absurdum. I thought that was what he was doing here.

Is it murder if we erase him from existence? I mean like he never really existed in the first place so you can't kill him. Ya know?

My apologies, I shall alter my statement to make it less controversial and offensive.

I think Cracked should erase all people from existence.
