Comment: Enough already. Cut the head off this snake.

Explanation: This comment conveys a violent threat to someone.
Part 3. Exercise
Comment: I suggested a long time ago to sleep with one eye open when Wohlforth surrenders his version of the facts. He gave up on Clem Tillion some time ago and Rogoff nearly died trying to get Tillion to change his mind.
But curiosity stokes the fire. We know Rogoff has an eye on the 54 billion dollar Permanent Fund, but what's to make of the desperate Wohlforth? Is he really that hellbent on funding a bloated government or is he just plain stupid? Perhaps both....
Answer:
Non-threat
