@jcast Yeah... that's part of the problem for sure.
I mean, I can't exactly expect leadership in any movement to fully align their views with mine. That would be arrogant.
I would like to at least be unaware of their more toxic views, however. I understand that that is somewhat willfully blind. But is it too much to ask of leadership to stay on topic when voicing their thoughts in public?
@jcast
Here, we have (by my reading) a leader attack an organization within the same movement based on a personal dislike, which they disguise (quite badly) as an issue tenuously related to the movement, with smoothly executed trolling tactics.
This isn't just a lack of discretion. It's effectively an abuse of their leadership position.
I don't think we can expect to come together if we let our leadership get away with this.
Then again, protesting this amplifies the issue.
