That doesn't even make sense. Looking at your other posts on this thread, it sounds like you were a bully yourself, and you're trying to make those actions seem justified.

terrorist - a person who terrorizes or frightens others.
Terrorist | Define Terrorist at Dictionary.com

bully - to act the bully toward; intimidate; domineer.

Dictionary.com doesn't see much difference

yes. this. big time.

"what you do comes back to you" so what you (speaking to the OP) have set in motion is great harm towards yourself and your loved ones.

I could see if I slit the throat of someone who cut me off, but this is different. Why is it so hard for some people to understand there are really awful people out there who deserve to have awful things done back to them?

I bet these are the same kind of people who were mad when Bin Laden was killed.
Simon Wiesenthal (proper spelling) did not hunt Nazis merely to "feel powerful and get back that power that was taken," which was your stated purpose for your actions in your #1 post. He used the courts, first of the War Crimes Offices and then in Israel, to seek punishment and justice under the law. He used his outstanding communication skills to educate the public to what the Jews and other minorities suffered under a repressive regime that threatened the entire world. That's what separated him from being a vigilante.

I'm sorry for what happened to you as a child but it's no excuse for turning yourself into another version of the sick behavior that drove you around the bend. How does talking the pain you suffered and duplicating it change anything? Please do yourself a favor and continue on with therapy. It's NOT all the Dr. Phil variety.

With all due respect, the erratic judgment and fantastical plot weaving on this thread alone brings claims into question, IMO.

Yes.

Everyone who "frightens" me is therefore tantamount to a global terrorist. Makes sense.

And in this perfect world I would still have the waistline and six pack abs that I had when I was 19. We each would have a playboy playmate on our arm, a genius level IQ, and perfect credit... There would be peace and no world hunger, and NO Kardashian family to contaminate our TV's with!

Unfortunately though, until then we are all stuck in the *real* world.
