I put incite in "dick quotes" to emphasize that it has become the specific word with which to paint a comment _about_ violence when you don't like the message or the messenger, not to minimize or parody what happened on the 6th.

Calm down, Bud.

I don't think that "calm down" is an appropriate response; you don't know anything about my state of calmness, or lack thereof. Even if you did, it's frankly not your business whether I am calm or not, nor does it affect the quality of my argument.

I appreciate your clarification, however. I withdraw my assertion that you were trying to minimize what happened on January 6th. And I apologize.

To be fair, you didn't seem to be bothered with inferring my state of mind in your original comment. Nor did your inference, even if true, change the meaning of what I said, either.

I was going to say "Calm down, Francis," as per the old movie Stripes, and then changed it, but neither would have been helpful. I apologize too.
