It’s an interesting thing to see people waving around signs with “No on H8” who look like they have enough anger to kill someone. Strange juxtaposition. > [@Miller](#): > > What, you think this issue isn’t ever going to be on the California ballot again? This _is_ before the vote: the vote in 2010, when we repeal this piece of shit amendment. This time around, we’re not going to complacently expect Californians to do the right thing on their own. Look forward to hearing about this issue a lot in the next two years. So here’s part of what I don’t understand. Wasn’t anyone mad when this was put on the ballot? Why did people sit around complacently this time, if that’s what you’re saying they did? > [@Miller](#): > > Can you point to a single post in this thread where a pro-SSM poster has threatened anyone? I had a feeling it would be you answering this since it was you that I was referring to. I guess I should have modified my term a little and will do so now. I’ll call it a ‘veiled threat’ instead of an all-out threat. But here’s an example. > [@Miller](#): > > For this particular amount of insult, I’m willing to turn the other cheek, and not treat you on this message board in the manner you’ve treated me at the ballot box. But I don’t have much sympathy for you when you encounter someone less forgiving than me. You’re not nearly the worst enemy we have out there. But you are by no means an ally. Do not be so surprised when you are treated as such. To me though, there’s not much difference in tone and style. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gay-marriage-opponents-listen-up-ive-got-a-secret-to-tell-you/471496)._
