Fair enough grap3. Called out refers to the people saying to cool it over the diversion of getting too concerned about the Texas crew being there, and maybe we should say rather than called out - "reassured" is the better term!
In any case, the criticism is still that we should be more measured in responding to news like this, remember this is where people outside the community will visit.
I know its your own reaction but as a member of the community - and a prominent, generally positively contributing one (podcasts take a lot of work and deserve appreciation!), mod tag or not, please be aware of the negative impression given. It just seemed overly knee-jerk.
