I like that you're planning ahead, but those responses are just antagonistic and bound to cause division, much less get you into trouble.

I've had my share of encounters being maskless myself, and I'm not proud of how all of them turned out, so I'm not judging.

I do think, when I doubt, u/jonathane 's suggestion of laughter can't go wrong.

And I will say, the more you're forced into confrontations, the easier it gets. So everyone hang in there and keep your heads up, but straight.
