Errr... I seem to have given entirely the wrong impression; sorry.
I haven't seen the TV show that Smallship_1 is reacting to, since I don't have a TV and live on the wrong side of the Atlantic to boot.
I don't think he is picturing, in his proposed rewrite of the offending scene (in which the skeptic originally apparently urged the ufo enthusiasts to, ah, broaden their interests) the ufo-believers doing anything more than chiding the skeptics for being, as smallship sees it, rude. Smallship is just not the kind of person who would advocate making dark-but-deniable threats; trust me on this.
I am so sorry I gave you this impression; that wasn't what I intended to be getting at at all.
