Exactly! The US government and media may use a warped definition of the word but this is the real meaning:

terrorism
[ter-uh-riz-uh m]
noun
  1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.
  2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
  3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.
The tactics employed by the lady mentioned in szopin's post #12 or the millitant feminists' attacks on Nobel Prize laureates fit that definition perfectly.

The Only Right Way™ to deal with that is to stand up to it face-on and call it what it is, not cowardly hide behind the cloak of anonymity. That makes you no better than them.

Oh and yes, my real name is no secret. It is easy to find using only the information available on this website.
