 * I am the supposed 'victim' of this 'threat'. It was actually a statement in my defense against a different block proposal that was supported by the same administrator.  At no point did I feel even slightly nervous reading this comment.  Nor did it literally call for violence -- literally, it said violence was impractical.  So this is a curious case of a "death threat" that neither calls for death nor is in any way threatening, which did not disturb its 'victim' but was instead welcome.  For this reason I support the unblock of Drilou immediately or at any time, without conditions.  But I also opposed the block during the very brief discussion at AN/I, as did several others, apparently without effect. Wnt (talk) 11:14, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * +1. I support a lifting of this block provided that Drilou admits that it was a foot in mouth moment.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 12:36, 26 March 2019 (UTC)


 * I've unblocked; there was a clear consensus not to block at the ANI discussion, and another one is forming that the block was wrong. However, Drilou, there was also a clear consensus that your comment was unhelpful.  First, sarcasm never works around here.  Second, whether intended as sarcasm or hyperbole or what have you, that kind of violent imagery introduced into an already-volatile discussion will never make things better, and really is disruptive. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:02, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, Drilou, I failed to pick up on your sarcasm and took your comments at face value. My bad. As a sarcastic person myself, I've definitely gotten myself in to hot water in this exact same situation, and IMO it's usually a good idea to tag your sarcasm with a /s tag to prevent these kinds of misunderstandings. Still, the error in this case was mine, and again, I apologize. Best, ~Swarm~   {talk}  21:39, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Wow, I thought that whole thing was over when the original thread was closed and I completely missed this entire discussion at AN/I as well as my blocking and unblocking. Thank you Wnt for your intervention and Floquenbeam for recognising sarcasm, as well as everyone who opposed my block (except that one guy who first opposed it but then changed his mind once he realised I wasn't an actual murderous antifa after all).
