So if I had said, "Keep talking, sink your own ship", how is that any different than what I said?

I am all for better policing to prevent real damage to society like the KKK or Neo Nazis or ISIS. But all I did in that post was say, "You are an idiot, keep talking, make things worse for yourself."

Really? You don't understand the difference between

"go hang yourself"
and
"sink your own ship"

I think you need to be more honest with your analysis of the figurative language you use. Because those two phrases are not the same, either figuratively, nor contextually.
