I think these two posts typify why just dismissing a broadly sent email by
Yates or anybody else is not wise. I could point to similar disagreements
between groups in CA now that is so very harmful when we need unity (or MANY
other
states, cities, counties, too), but the point is that committment to one
direction to the point of ignoring other viewpoints is neither helpful nor
forward
moving. At a certain point, to shut ears (or eyes) on everybody except
those to whom you are singularly committed is similar to movements in which I
surely do not want to belong.

disagree.
