I think what you're not-so-eloquently trying to get at is that while some people consider a particular cause noble and worth effort, others might consider it out of scope. However, in the context of this particular cause, it's often the case that those who set the scope are the least directly impacted by the problems which the cause is fighting against. Given lack of experience, and especially a lack of empathy, it often looks like a non-issue. People who just want to focus on their problem domain at the expense of their duties to their personnel can easily can fall into this category. Put bluntly, people like that should not be responsible for other people. Edit: > Create problems on a team, you will get bounced from the team As it should be. However if this is implemented correctly, standing up for yourself should never be viewed as creating a problem.
