FWIW, I really am saying this out of friendship
Look, if the way I speak/write turns you off, so be it.
Well, you're turning off more than me. You're turning off a lot of people.
YOU are failing at your responsibility (as part of the Silveira activists) to behave in a professional and calm manner.
YOU are turning people away from supporting Silveira. Thus,
YOU are undermining Silveira.
But "so be it" right?
Do you really think that such behavior is beyond the notice of the Justices and if noticed that it won't color their opinion of the case -- especially the opinion of the potentially two or three fence-sitting Justices?
Do you understand how howling screeds -- especially those like Williamson's -- can be turned against you, or worse, against the case?
Cripes, you guys have a responsibility to keep that from happening, yet your response is "so be it?"
If I throw a bunch of curses into the air, just for the hell of it, are you really going to accuse me of hurling invective at someone? No.
Well, I
am going to say you are hurling invectives (whether
at someone is beside the point), and I'm going point out that such behavior gives the appearance of that the people leading the Silveira case are not in control -- and that undermines the case.
I am SO sick and tired of this lunatic nitpicking!
Too bad.
YOU put yourself in the limelight, and I'm going to keep criticizing behavior that I see as undermining the case.
And incidentally, as for "nitpicking," it's not just a word here or there. It's the entire tone that KABA puts up. It drives away some people and undermines the confidence of others.
