    yeah but then like, don’t post about it? idk. If you aren’t willing to discuss it then why do the rest of us need to hear your opinion? it’s a conversation-terminator.

    I just don’t really think his dumb opinions are relevant to his professional work.

    Not sure I’m comfortable making that kind of distinction where we let people just be shitbags and continue to occupy prominent and revered positions in our communities/orgs. I know that’s not exactly what you’re saying, but I think it’s where the distinction being drawn often leads.

      Then don’t post about it, yourself?? It was very deliberately a conversation-terminator, I’m not interested in a conversation about it.

      I agree with not being fully comfortable about that kind of distinction. I don’t think we should let people be as shitbags, but I also don’t understand why a person in a prominent position needs to not have bad opinions on irrelevant topics.
