I suppose that's what he meant, but I don't think that's what he said. I could be wrong; I'm a computer scientist not an English major.

This seems to be the original quote, and it looks like Ahlgador is claiming Daywolf is a feckless coward because he didn't shoot police officers or blow up a building with a truck full of fertilizer.

Doubtful he's actually challenging Daywolf to do violence. I read it as 'if you really believe things are as bad as you claim, aren't you obligated to take action?' & 'Tone it down please'

I don't disagree with the sentiment and I think it's just a forums slapfight.

Essentially, yes. Daywolf's world view predetermines his perception, and I was holding out hope that he would step outside his echo chamber in order to see that. Likely, almost certainly, futile efforts. Though I do have a notion that some of his motivation is a feeling of lacking agency in his situation.
