There is no objective way to assign all blame for the tangent to just us or just them, however the closest you can come is to say that whoever speaks first is more responsible for their unprompted speech than responders are for their reactions. They chose their reactions, but they are not reactions in a vacuum, they are reactions to something, that came from someone else.
