I'd like to be able to give feedback without escalation. I don't engage in extra risky driving behavior for a whole lot more reasons than guns. My point is I have to have that as a factor, not that it consumes my every thought. If guns were the only thing keeping me from behaving badly, I don't think I'd like myself very much. If you think guns are or should be a primary motivator for good behaviors, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't get along either. I'm done with this for today; I've been given the maintenance dose for my misanthropy.

"Feedback" IS escalation. "Feedback" IS an extra-risky driving behavior. Specifically, you are distracting two drivers (yourself and the "shitty" driver) from focusing on driving.

Deterring you from such offensive behavior is a good thing. So long as guns serve as such a deterrence to you, I cannot support your desire for disarmament.

Do you clap with your fingers spread nice and wide?

Is that an ableist slur, or just an ad hominem?
