No thank you. And they aren't trying to balance anything, they are just confused.
Generally, this type of comment comes from someone intimating that Arminianism is evangelistic and Calvinism isn't. It's ignorance, to any extent that modern Arminianism is evangelistic it borrowed it from Calvinism - the Dutch Arminians weren't evangelistic and no one that is consistently Arminian is evangelistic.
