Hah, I wouldn't go that far. It would be immature.
I might express displeasure though.

I must qualify for a Prime Minister or two back.
I remember my dad saying that the American authorities dislike the British. Mind you that was after they wouldn't let him live in the States with his Yank Mrs.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Oh now don't you worry now, dear! Britons still are and always will be right popular with any French authority!

Re: Freedom of speech issues?
What would happen if an American sent such kind of message? Would he be disallowed to enter the US? Exiled? Or worse, granted french nationality?
Re: Freedom of speech issues?
They get visited by the Secret Service.
I wonder what will happen if an American sends such a message to David Cameron, will he get banned from the UK, or will the UK say sorry and compensate the said American?

So, banning anyone for life based on an email is normal behaviour in the USA?

In America, threatening the President is a massive offense.So, banning anyone for life based on an email is normal behaviour in the USA?
I know of some one when they were 13, they draw a picture of Bush jr getting killed, and the school found out and reported it, and he was taken away by the Secret Service and questioned.

Did they tell him what a naughty boy he was?
Re: Freedom of speech issues?
Apparently he ended up on some register or something. I found it hilarious when he told me, then it dawned on me, if that was serious, it would be really disturbing.
