Because you lectured me on what happens to one's ass if you defy a person with a gun. This because I was questioning Barbara on why she felt a similar lecture was called-for.
Since I'd never said that people with guns can be disregarded, this all struck me as sort of odd. Somehow, sheltiedave's proposition seemed to have stimulated, in three people, some urge to affirm the power of the gunman. I described this reaction as 'apologia for authoritarianism.' Maybe that isn't the most apt term for it, but there's something going on, seems to me.
I also feel I'm being a bit obnoxious, so I apologize for that. But I do find this odd reaction I see interesting. And I've tried to answer your question clearly and frankly.
