    So how many levels of indirection is okay: (The following are sarcastic statements being made for the purposes of examples)

    Banner 1: “I’M GONNA SHOOT A BABY WITH A GUN.”
    Banner 2: “I support Banner 1.”
    Banner 3: “I support the person holding Banner 1 and their right to make statements of any kind.”
    Banner 4: “I don’t like the hyperbole of claiming that anyone is getting threatened.”
    Banner 5: “I support Banner 2.”
    Banner 6: “Cheese tastes good sometimes.”
    Banner 7: “Both banners, including Banner 1 and Banner 6, need to tone down their rhetoric and are just as bad.”
    Banner 8: “Banner 2 was attacked just for holding a banner. Free speech doesn’t exist anymore. Hostility is out of control.”
