Tyler, who preaches civility, has in the past threatened to kick Twitchy CEO Michelle Malkin “in the nuts.” Any defensive reaction to a statement like that comes from people who are overreacting and “eager to be offended,” according to Tyler:

So everybody just lighten up, because Tyler’s only cracking jokes when she criticizes, but criticize Tyler and you’re tagged as a “hater.”

When Tyler threatened to kick Twitchy CEO Michelle Malkin “in the nuts,” she didn’t claim it was a joke, but rather that Malkin was asking for it, as evidenced by this flashback tweet:

Malkin was asking for it. But it was also hyperbole, or something:

Which Tyler still claims to this day:

We’re not convinced Tyler would have accepted the same explanation if the tables had been turned. It sounds to us that if you insult or threaten Tyler, you’ll be considered a hater. If she insults or threatens you, she was only joking and you need to lighten up.
