The Satanic Temple, an activist group based in Salem, Massachusetts, is threatening to sue Twitter for religious discrimination after one of its co-founders had his Twitter account permanently suspended.

Lucien Greaves, the Satanic Temple's co-founder and spokesman, said his Twitter account was permanently suspended without any notice after he asked his followers to report a tweet that called for the Satanic Temple to be burned down.

"We're talking to lawyers today," Greaves said Friday about whether he planned to take legal action.

    If you put spots on your strawman, that just signals that is is not real, and therefore ineffective as a scarecrow. I think we are dealing more with a fallacy of ambiguity here, or possibly an argumentum ad ignoratiam advocatus diaboli.

      I know you'd rather speak Greek but it's spelled "ignorantiam".

      Anyway if we don't want no strawman around I vote for post hoc ergo propter hoc.
