I don't think I would've said anything to him. However, I have given polite and even jokingly serious advice to people who unknowingly, or knowingly, wore an organization's letters. I'd rather I neutrally say something than for them to run across a lunatic member.
This is not one of those instances. Similarly, years ago, we were doing service at a food bank and a homeless man saw our lettered tshirts and took off his jacket to show us that he had on our symbols. We stopped and stared at him because it took us off guard. But when he got in line for his pancakes and sausages, we didn't say anything to him. Not knowing this man's education level or story (since there are homeless people with degrees and who are members of sororities and fraternities), we assumed that he knows where he got the shirt from and knows that the shirt probably belonged to something he 1) may know nothing about and 2) obviously isn't a member of. No point in going any further.
We have been laughing at that story for 10 years.
I do think that some people are overreacting to Scandia. And she's silly for giving you all an update. LOL.
