A shame you didn’t say “We just have to take action and let things run their course without getting too crazy” to begin with. If you’d put in something like the bolded part to indicate that you weren’t just recommending passivity, the whole discussion could have been avoided.
I used “sit back” to point out the absurdity of equating “do things” with “letting things take their course” which, as you yourself now agree, are two different things.
