In this limited instance, regrettably that phrase is more true than not.
There's a lot of mass hysteria on naked display and given how grounded in unsubstantiated assertions it all is, it's not very helpful toward settlement which is the wide preference of people on differing sides of the fence.
Those who are capable of chilling out should give it some serious consideration. The surprising seeming alliances that have developed are interesting, even entertaining, to watch (and mostly understandable) but they aren't helpful and the give unhealthy encouragement to those who cannot exercise self-control.
This is just a probably futile but no less worthy attempt to reign things in on a Sunday morning.
