      This is a pure ragebait answer.

      Zero actual content or explanation, and instead just a pure angry gibberish.

      I see where the take you decided to attack comes from. By simply calling to “ignore” violence, we give rise to it - and before long, being hit with the bat for reversing a verbal attack and defending from bullying becomes something normal and seemingly acceptable. It is absolutely not and never should be.

      But the person in question was not in a position to fix that. Having others who sympathize with you or just can’t allow for violence to flourish could seriously turn the tides of the conversation and would probably never lead to violence in the first place. And instead of recognizing that, they seemingly came to a broader conclusion that one should never respond to such aggressive verbal takes in fear of physical attack - thereby completing its original goal as a silencing tool.

      I cannot help but notice, though, that it was framed in a bit of a rough tone, which might not help to drive the message across.
