There are no sacred cows and pretty insulting to resort to name calling when you have no flippin clue what my values may be. It always amazes me as an activist for 25 years in the toxic product & policy space how folks who have no record of accomplishments in the public debate rather take shots at the fighters for not sharing their priorities than put that effort into aiming for dirtbags.

It's incredibly hard to be in any type of a leadership role for a movement and I am incredibly grateful I am able to put out positive messages I believe can lead things in a good direction without simultaneously having to be responsible for all the extra things one of those roles entails.

Some of what Allen says here is spot on, other things I strongly disagree with, but I believe it's important to have both sides of each issue be presented even when I don't agree with him. That said, like you, I do not believe in attacking people I believe are genuinely trying to make things better.
