Is it possible to have a calm and respectful debate about same-sex marriage? It would appear not.

A foam-flecked paragraph later he continued: "Please don't take what I said lightly. End your life... I will put it to you this way, if I had met anyone from your 'institute' I would not think twice about kicking their f***ing face in... I hope you die a horrible death."
I mentioned this email in a tweet and the general reaction on Twitter was that we deserved it.
