No, I’m afraid of the witch-hunters. (So far, polling indicates that this was not the right hypothesis for the commentary in general.)

Someone who joins the witch-hunters out of fear is still a witch-hunter.
Well, if you’re not willing to stand up to the witch-hunters you should at least avoid joining their mobs.
I don’t see anything CAE_Jones has said or done here that can possibly be described as witch-hunting or mob-joining.
