Wrong, guys--read what I wrote again.
I used his own criteria but left the outcome in his hands. And I gave him ways to verify, through the Oath Keepers article link, through providing Stewart's name, and with a personal reference/testimonial.
My speculation as to his motives is actually more valid, because we have none of these things to judge him by. But I still gave him a way out--and a way to make things right.
If you think I was hard on him, you should read what I wrote before I reworked it. It wasn't his speculation so much as the fact he admitted spreading this elsewhere. And I don't automatically trust those places will be as vigilant as here at correcting the record.
That's irresponsible, and I'll not let my friends be hurt by that--I'll stop it immediately in no uncertain terms with any chair at hand. Because I have no doubt he would spread this poison wherever the subject was broached unless stopped.
The reason we're in the fix we are now is as much because of the lazy and ignorant imposing their uninformed opinions on us as anything else. They may just end up getting a wake-up call a lot more rousing than what I just did.
And heat and light are not mutually exclusive. Sometimes, you need a really bright light and the heat is just a byproduct.
My guess is it worked and he won't do that again. And if he does, we'll know all we need to know.
