It's a warning. Say loudly that "spirited debate" is allowed, a hallmark of blah blah. Warn of violence after every mention of "spirited debate". Then mix in vagueries about fear and intimidation. All of which will allow the ruling regime to declare any debate they don't like as spirited, and oops you crossed the line and were intimidating which of course is violence and clearly that is a crime. Off to the gulag pesky debater. buy ammo
