Musings: terroristic vs. jingoistic threats

White-collar and esp. technical support employees might fantasize about flailing or flogging the hapless user or customer who asks questions that have been addressed in the documentation or procedures. They keep such tortuous thoughts quiet, though they may darkly mutter terroristic threats to a co-worker (who may gleefully reciprocate). I think I might prefer making jingoistic threats to making terroristic ones though: They're not only legal but neglected (unless you're a fervent Republican) and they won't scare everyone away, only half.
