Is it just me or does McLetchie make it sound like one of us posted that comment as a joke?

"First of all, quatloos are Star Trek money, so it’s clearly a fantastical reference, and quatloos.com is a website that debunks anti-tax myth. So it’s clearly an inside joke, it’s meant to be fantastical and it doesn’t reveal any actual plan to kill the prosecutor," McLetchie says. "As awful and crude as it is, people can wish bad things about people and wish bad things would happen to people without it being an actual threat. So in our view, the subpoenas are clearly problematic because the government is in essence trying to squelch the criticism."

Joey, unless I missed it, the website quatloos.com was not mentioned in the article at all.

From the article:

"First of all, quatloos are Star Trek money, so it’s clearly a fantastical reference, and quatloos.com is a website that debunks anti-tax myth. So it’s clearly an inside joke, it’s meant to be fantastical and it doesn’t reveal any actual plan to kill the prosecutor," McLetchie says. "As awful and crude as it is, people can wish bad things about people and wish bad things would happen to people without it being an actual threat. So in our view, the subpoenas are clearly problematic because the government is in essence trying to squelch the criticism."

That's what I thought too. "So it’s clearly an inside joke"

That wasn't my first impression, but I see how it could be construed that way. And it could have been a post on here - there's been quite a few bad eggs that have been posters on this forum.

It wasn't my first impression either. It took a couple more "reads" to pick it up.
