Taking out ads like the one mentioned in the article is not "threatening officials."  Nothing to discuss.  (I agree that actual threats are not discussion-worthy).

I'm sure taking out full-page ads demonizing a health care official wouldn't incite any of the sketchier parts of the "COVID = hoax" folks to take things further.  It's something to think about on both sides, although IMHO it's mostly one side who brags about being armed, has actually been arrested for plots to kidnap & execute policy makers, and continues to spread flagrant lies guaranteed to divide our country & promote violence.

And it's "mostly one side" who publicly shames and/or goes after your livelihood if you disagree with "the way you're supposed to think."  I condemn all kinds of brownshirt tactics . . . do you?
