i can't even guess as to why they went quiet. not one guess at all. we will never know.
edit: well they're not quiet now once they get called out
I appreciate that they and their personal community is in pain at this moment, but I don't think they were justified in calling me and mine cowardly and hopelessly sheltered because I personally live in relative safety and am struggling with the helplessness of being unable to make enough of an impact to my government was called for. I don't want me and mine to go through such pain, but I am increasingly concerned that we will not be able to avoid it.
