Something about the idea of an "open letter" always bothers me. I don't know who Joel is, or why I should trust that this issue is important. The coming of a "morality apocalypse" is pure speculation, with no data or even anecdotal examples to back it up, and seems straight out of 60s Cold War MAD paranoia with little to add since then.

Therefore, the main reason why those lacking power, in this case Joel, write 'open letters' is in the hope of gaining enough attention from others peeking at a letter addressed to a private individual.
