4 @#2 - Yeah, when I saw "Jakob", I thought, hmmm. Common in Europe, not so in the USSA.

5 Germanic: Dutch, German, maybe Scandinavian. Or in America, someone who can’t spell. Because the family name looks French.1

6 The family name may be French but it isn't a common Cajun name. And Ft. Polk is in the nw part of the state, up in the mountains.

7 I haven’t been able to find anything about Mr. Marcoulier, including his rank and resumé, though there are now two or three photos of his, attached to articles. But USA Today discusses the fact that Discord has a history of hosting this kind of conversation:

Discord is an online messaging platform where users can communicate directly with one another, either by text or in voice calls. The platform became immensely popular with gamers and was originally developed to help people who play multiplayer games to communicate.

The platform has more than 90 million daily active users, according to the company's website. Though Discord was designed as a communications platform and has been primarily aimed at gamers, researchers with the Institute for Strategic Dialogue have documented that the platform has been "repeatedly used by various extremist groups."

In a 2021 report, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue − an independent research organization that analyzes extremism, disinformation, and online threats − found that Discord "primarily acts as a hub for extreme right-wing socializing and community building" and "provides a safe space for users to share ideological material and explore extremist movements."

In recent years, Discord has also been under scrutiny on suspicion of facilitating child sexual exploitation and abuse, and for being linked to high-profile mass shootings. Multiple high-profile incidents of violence and extremism that have involved Discord include:

Unite the Right at Charlottesville, Virginia: Far-right extremists used the platform to communicate and organize before the rally, according to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue. Authorities said hundreds of Ku Klux Klan members, neo-Nazis and other White nationalists marched through the University of Virginia campus in 2017, shouting racist and antisemitic chants.

Mass shooting in Buffalo, New York: Authorities said the gunman [Payton Gendron] who shot and killed 10 people in a Buffalo supermarket in 2022 had invited Discord users into his private server to read the private writings he had posted on the platform for months. The writings included racist rants and step-by-step attack plans, USA TODAY reported.

Ohio synagogue threat: In 2023, authorities accused a 13-year-old boy [unnamed because of his youth, but the synagogue was Temple Israel] of planning to carry out a mass shooting at a synagogue in Canton and had conspired with another person through Discord.

Charlie Kirk shooting: After the fatal shooting of the conservative activist in 2025, authorities said the suspect [Tyler Robinson] sent messages on Discord that contained references to a rifle that needed to be retrieved and engravings on bullet casings found with the weapon.

Discord told USA TODAY it has a "zero-tolerance policy against hate or violent extremism and we take action when we become aware of it, including banning users, shutting down servers, and engaging with authorities when appropriate." In 2021, the company said it had banned more than 2,000 extremist servers, according to the Institute for Strategic Dialogue.

Speaking of Jakobs, the Habs' goalie is Jakob Dobeš.
