Yes, _very_ true. And, contrariwise, attacks are not the only sign of
extremism, any more than workplace shootings are the only sign of an
utterly unhappy worker. But not all extremists, it seems to me, attack
directly. Some attack indirectly.
That was the source of my question about Morris. Since you've mentioned
he is a relative, I'd sincerely like to know more about him from you
some time.
What's he like? How often do you and he come into contact?
