I kinda agree with you, but I think it's a bit harsh (and unpersuasive) to call him a dunce. Take a look at my post where I analyze his reaction a bit more charitably/emotionally.

It's not stupidity on his part at all, it's just fear. And it's understandable that there's fear, because look at the world we're in! Fear is generated constantly. It takes effort and a gentle intervention to snap people out of it and encourage them to grow and become responsible and let others live freely.

Touché. I figured since I didn't call ythl a dunce directly that I wasn't being overly harsh, but your comment is much more eloquent than mine and has effectively reminded me that one can attract more bees with honey than with vinegar.
