>>It's necessary to be able to critique leaders.
There's one particular leader who comes to mind... I know many people would have no problem publicly asserting that this leader clearly has some sort of mental/cognitive/emotional problems.
- gnode 7y agoIt's ironic that bad faith accusations of insanity against people with different opinions are generally more tolerated than good faith assertions of mental issues impeding those who we are sympathetic to.
- daveslash 7y agoYes, ironic indeed. That said, I'll admit that the author might have word-smithed the post a little bit. For example, unless it's publicly known that he has Aspergers, the author probably should have avoided being so specific. Instead of saying that he has mental issues, they could have said "years of public behavior would indicate that he very well may have mental issues". Maybe that would have struck many readers as more "good-faith" criticism.
