When one speaks on disagreements often escalation results in both sides with sleeves rolled up and a testy attitude pushed to the fronts. What the gentleman was saying probably attempted at a sincere tilt towards the middle ground. Speaking out about the perils of what a few souls can do is a bit silly if I don't mind saying so. What can two or three people who disagree really do to you? Your antagonists would be too eager to bring upon malevolence if your argument continued.
