  • Not a literal death threat, but close.

    I once told someone screaming at the bus driver to be reasonable. It was a replacement bus service during winter because the aboveground metros couldn’t drive anymore. The buses were loaded with people, and someone apparently felt ill and had to get out of the bus, so people were screaming at the bus driver to stop. We were driving on the highway, though - you can’t just get out there, even if it wasn’t dangerous anyway.

    If I remember correctly the bus driver stopped when it was possible and the ill person got off. When I got out at my stop, the person screaming the loudest got off as well, turned to face me and said: ‘I hope you get cancer.’



  • I don’t think for legal purposes - not specifically, anyway. All newspapers I read (Dutch ones) have opinion pieces which explicitly do reflect the opinion of the newspaper (written by the editors and generally known as a ‘commentary’). All other opinion pieces published by the newspaper are the opinion of the individual columnists, not of the newspaper (even though they published it and it may align with their opinion anyway).

    It’s just transparant, pretty much.
