Zavhric was the outside radical that furnished the catalyst to turn Raoul's ignored post into a war.

The point being that friends can ignore insults but a third party can by agreeing or disagreeing elicit the emotions that the original post created.

As alcaray pointed out Raoul is well thought of around here and his post even on flame was ignored rather than attack him.

If we were nations instead of people and hurling nukes instead of insults, one might say that a pacifist was indirectly responsible for a nuclear war, or not.

I just thought it was interesting, with possible macro implications.
