I put incite in "dick quotes" to emphasize that it has become the specific word with which to paint a comment _about_ violence when you don't like the message or the messenger, not to minimize or parody what happened on the 6th.
Calm down, Bud.
- Bud 6y agoI don't think that "calm down" is an appropriate response; you don't know anything about my state of calmness, or lack thereof. Even if you did, it's frankly not your business whether I am calm or not, nor does it affect the quality of my argument. I appreciate your clarification, however. I withdraw my assertion that you were trying to minimize what happened on January 6th. And I apologize.
- TheRealDunkirk 6y agoTo be fair, you didn't seem to be bothered with inferring my state of mind in your original comment. Nor did your inference, even if true, change the meaning of what I said, either. I was going to say "Calm down, Francis," as per the old movie Stripes, and then changed it, but neither would have been helpful. I apologize too.
