Based on what he said, he approached the Sharks organization about what he planned to do and there was some "due diligence" because they likely knew the media might run with this story. I don't think this was on a whim, far from it, but I do think Reimer hoped this wouldn't become what it is now. But I can't read the man's mind, just my interpretation.

I can't speak for BoLevi who is far more thoughtful and well-reasoned than I. But for me I measure society on its ability to tolerate opposing viewpoints. And right now our society is tearing itself apart.
I subscribe to the Voltaire school of "I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It."

Have never had an alt account in 21 years of being on CP. I know, it's crazy, another poster agreeing with me on anything.
