Happiness

"No matter who uses them" - thank you for owning up to your "threat" ...

No, I didn't characterize my metaphor as a "threat", you falsely mislabeled it as one.  Your specious interpretations are not valid evidence.

... yet if it was a "metaphor" then you should definitely understand the "bees' stinging words" metaphor, now wouldn't you?  

I do, here's your exact quote, (not your reformulated one); " ... one day all of those stirred up bees will give you what you are asking for - a big bunch of stings."  Since words aren't physically harmful, the assertion was either a false metaphor or, a disguised threat.

Mine was a metaphor - how you take it is your problem.  You say yours was a metaphor.  How I took it was my problem.  If you choose to take it personal, that's your issue to deal with.  I chose to take yours partially personal because of the "violence" indicated towards the Christian within that quote, combined with your intolerant attitude and hatefulness towards believers, such as myself.

Surely you aren't insinuating that only you are allowed to use metaphors...

Happiness comes from within.  People cannot make you happy, however the "actions" of other people can make you "feel" happy or unhappy.  My philosphy

I agree with your philosophy and would like to add that the extent of your happiness depends on how much of it comes from within.
