I'm not comparing the Twinkfest with nazi Germany, I'm remarking on the set of circumstances that led to both. In a utopian world all people will act maturely and in good faith and when they do act up, that the best course of action is to ignore them. In the 'real world', though that doesn't solve the problem, it just takes you out of the picture. Ignoring the problem leads to it's own set of consequences. And maybe you'll get reembroiled in it and maybe you won't. My own experiences suggest that, in general, you'll get caught back up in it all again, though. That was my point. Not Stebe is comparable to a terrorist or a nazi, but that if you simply let things be, you could end up having to deal with the consequences, whatever they may be.
