    Disproportionate punishment is another of course. They probably lump pedophiles (a person with a psychiatric disorder) and child molesters (a person that actually harms children) into the same group and you deserve to die for simply thinking the wrong things.

      They lump far more people into the same group. They attack anyone whom they think they can, even if they know that their accusations are BS.
