it's a long post, which contains jewels like these two:
So will any people those leaders don’t value. In these movements, there will be social stratification. The leader and his or her friends will be on one level. The people who can influence the leader, directly or through those friends, will be on another. Those people who have annoyed or offended the leader will be pariahs. The great mass of people, who may care and be as motivated on these issues as the leader, will generally be ignored until needed for something.
At the same time, we still allow some personalities–and some leaders–to put cronyism first. We still allow them perqs that harm people not on their “levelâ€. We still accept abuse of those who challenge and disagree with leaders or with that club mentality. We still put social factors ahead of getting work done.
So, we get leaders, pariahs, abuse and club mentality. She's talking about FTB and the SJW's, right?
This weekend, we have two tests of our movements. Leaders of two of the largest and best-known organizations are being watched as their decisions tell us what they’re willing to put up with. The board of the Center for Inquiry, obviously, makes a decision on whether they are willing to allow their organization and their conferences to be used to exercise the ignorance and personal grievances of their CEO. Their meeting ends today. On Sunday, the president of American Atheists will appear on the podcast of someone who calls himself a “brave hero†for openly advocating for the culture of abuse that exists within our movements. He’s given preliminary indications he’s ready to challenge that culture, but we’ll have to see what the outcome of that appearance actually is.
No, it's the secular/skeptic/atheist/whatever movement, which right now is in a crisis of leadership. I bet you didnt' see that one coming :roll:
