Hard for Canadians right now since we recently lost 2 members of our military from attacks in Canada. I know he didn't mean David's family were acting like terrorists. He was saying that the impression given by the family and friends influence what you think about the housemate. You are known by the company you keep is an old adage that used to be popular when I was growing up. Basically if you hang around with hoodlums people will think you're a hoodlum as well. If I've just been putting words in your mouth @Frankyfurt then I apologise. That was the sense of what I got from your posts.@lefrancais , even if you just meant it as an analogy please do not refer to David's sisters (who are actually incredibly lovely human beings) and friends in a comparison to ISIS.
That whole ISIS thing will bring about a very wide range of reactions from people and your post could be taken as being unbelievably offensive.
Sometimes things are just what they are...a housemate's family and friend defending them against internet nasties...absolutely no need for ISIS comparisons. Jesus Christ.
