If I am right, Youth-ish was already ticked off years before. This is partly "outing" Youth-ish, but it goes to explaining the explosive reaction a bit, and the reasons we let the situation play out.
Just as JWH jumped on Joseph for four simple sentences which in themselves meant nothing, Youth-ish jumped on JWH because of some history, I believe.
At first JWH wrote a simple sentence in passing, which sort of didn't warrant Youth-ish's reaction. It was like Youth-ish was reading too far into things too. Sometimes it's hard to know when to step in. I was about to intervene, but then JWH answered to Youth-ish's post in a way which unfortunately proved Youth-ish's point, and made it clear beyond a shadow of doubt that there was in fact a point of contention.
It is true that JWH meant youth outside of the Family or ex-TF circle, because SGs are already "warned" or burned. But based on past interaction, I did actually write JWH specifically about not going "the youth" this and "the youth" that. In the past his comments were even more clumsy than what happened now, and I saw where Youth-ish was coming from, and perhaps gave too much leeway.
*sigh* Our job really isn't an easy one.
