"Well, sir, if you're coming over here and griping about it to my face, then it's obviously not intimidating!"
This face to face griping by the sheeple is so common. Additionally it's beyond stupid and shows the utter lack of investigation of the subject matter. And yet, being ignorant and stupid, these people still feel qualified to tell others how to behave.
An alternate comment in response to the "brandishing" claim would be, "Sir, someday you will learn that words have meanings."
