I simply clearly and openly condemned anyone on any side calling for people to be jailed.
In contrast, Westwall and SSDD went into amusing contortions to justify their unwillingness to condemn such people. Displaying the expected hypocrisy, they excused all such behavior from their side, but were profuse in the condemnation of the other side, even though the other side does it far, far less.

That's like a death sentence to such herd beasts, so they will follow all orders, even knowing in their hearts how immoral it is.
