When Mr. Vanderboegh mentioned another man's balls, it was while relating a metaphor that his salt-of-the-Earth grandfather told him at 10 years old about why he wouldn't return to the house at Mike's urging to continue an argument his granddad was having with his grandmother. After encouraging his grandfather to go back because Mike thought he had the "winning" argument, his granddad bent down to Mike's level and said, paraphrasing, "Son, you don't poke a wolverine with a sharp stick unless you want your balls ripped off!"
Men are particularly well-suited to understand unstated meanings of a metaphor about balls, either their own or others', it makes no difference.
I only heard half the interview, so I don't know if Mike was given a chance to repeat that story or not, but it was an attempt at a warning of the unintended consequences of turning our free republic into a tyrannical, despotic state. Harry Reid called the participants of a peaceful protest that made the BLM back down from firing the first shot of the next civil war "domestic terrorists," yet what inspired those people to go there were four separate sniper nests trained on the Bundy family, plus another ~200 heavily armed agents who threw Cliven Bundy's sister to the dirt, tased one of his sons multiple times in quick succession, and assaulted a pregnant woman, all caught on video and disseminated to a shocked public over an unpaid grazing fees bill. The despotism in those acts puts Mike's warning of unintended consequences in easy-to-understand context of a poke with a sharp stick causing a wolverine to rip somebody's balls off. The wolverine is not the sister, the son or the pregnant woman, the wolverine is our liberty. If government, whether from the right or the left, keeps poking that stick at our liberties, more than a few balls will be ripped off.
The only reason anyone on a progressive website would have to disagree with Mike Vanderboegh's metaphor is if you have designs on our liberties. Assuming that isn't true, then we have no issues. But if it is true, as Bunkerville proved to at least some degree, we are ready, willing, able, armed, prepared and righteously indignant to rip their balls off when our government forgets its place. No one will be immune from the unintended consequences of taking it to the next step. We aren't your enemies. We are the protectors of liberty. We want you to live any way you choose. The only caveat is that your choices cannot infringe on anyone else's choices of how to live. Obviously, snipers surrounding American families is a bit more infringement than we're willing to allow.
I tried to answer your question honestly and politely, but also directly. I hope it enures to some degree of understanding rather than being taken as threatening or angry or dismissive of your concerns. We simply adhere to the law and try to predict it as best we can. The Law of Unintended Consequences is very unpredictable though, so it's incumbent upon serious people to talk seriously with each other."
DC Wright did some great work. I hope I represented fairly well also. What I heard was a great job, Mike. Sorry I had to miss half of it. You know as well as anybody what it's like to get out of an over-booked doctor's office!
Finally got a chance to watch the video. Well done!
As I expected, the liberaloon did his *very* best to trap you, and when faced with facts, studiously ignored them.
You did far better than I ever would have been able to... Sadly, judging from the comments below the video, the collectivists prefer willful ignorance. Reality is really gonna' suck for them, when they get on the @ss.

That was the best laugh I have had all day!
I posted there, with actual facts, and got ambushed by everyone. It was GREAT! There was much opportunity to spread TRUTH and LIGHT!!!
Outstanding job Mike ..... Alan has never had anyone neuter him as you did. I am in AWE and please accept my apologies.

Nice job Mike!!
Alan is just jealous since he lost his years ago.
