[PhasmaFelis]

If these quotes are correct:

> He raged that it was their own fault for "breeding like rabbits". At other times, he said the plague was "merrily" culling the population.

Then the "said" part is accurate. The "did" part may be hyperbolic, but not enough to overpower an otherwise excellent post. It really does seem like people are just knee-jerk reacting to criticism of a popular figure.
