I really don't understand what is being said here - if anyone else does,
I would be glad to know.

I have the feeling that I am being insulted ?
If so why ? and what is it supposed to add to the discussion ?

If you don't have anything sensible or constructive to say, then just
keep your fingers off the keyboard !

It meant that (a) your thinking (or writing) was insufficiently careful, and
(b), that you recommend obedience to abuses of governmental authority.

If the shoe fits...  [I admit that reasonable men can differ on (b). I'm an
American living in England; we've sometimes differed with them.]
