How are you sure he would deny it?

You’ll probably jump all over me and make some assumptions but some of the stuff you post is over-the-top.

Live life the way you want, disassociate who you want, but to make assumptions and trying to tell others what to do is really crass.

But it sure is easy to do on the ‘net when you have no feel for the reality of others.

If you find my posts where I tell someone else what to do, let me know so I can apologize. I do try to say what I have done. I don’t know anyone else’s situation. If the strength of my opinions seems to be me telling someone what to do, that is not my intent. My intent is to strongly state my perspective. As for denying, I would deny that anyone I know would commit violence, because that is the normal perspective, to deny that anyone in our circle could do bad things. However, I do assert that recent evidence shows that people who engage in extreme social media postings in fact do commit violence. But rather than suggest that HW’s friend could commit violence- an assertion without basis and which would be denied rightfully by HW- I simply indicate that people posting unbased rightwing memes can cause others to act out.
