Not my intent--my term "set up" was meant to describe what I inferred from my *mistaken* impression--that of holding all members of a group responsible for any statements by a member of the group, even those they hadn't heard of.
Of course, what you said--holding people responsible for their own words, and perhaps some of their close allies responsible for "keeping an eye out" for them--is entirely reasonable.
My bad, my mistake--and I should have taken pains to make my objections less confusing!
Cheers!
No problem...probably we were talking past each other...the weekend and all...
I think we are in agreement here...
