The scenario I was thinking of was something like this:
Pax - takes a picture of employee and asks for their name
Employee - asks to see Boarding Pass
Pax - hands over boarding pass
Employee - rips up boarding pass and says "you won't be travelling today."
Regardless of how different people may see this, at no point did the poster say/imply that the BP would be forcibly removed from the pax. To accuse the poster of condoning/advocating violence was, IMHO, unwarranted and inappropriate.
