hey sorry don't it take it so personally, I know you post lots of leftist news stories on here, and we all appreciate it. I'm not asking you stop posting about starbucks, I'm more interested hearing everyone else's thoughts on the subject, not asking you to personally defend them or even stop posting about them. You should be able to criticize them, or criticize what I'm writing about them, if you can't do either, you could always ask me questions, or you could always just assume I'm a complete idiot and not worth your time and ignore me

I'm not taking it personally, I just disagree with your assessment and I don't think we're getting anywhere. I agree with being able to criticize misguided efforts at organizing, I'm just saying that I see the drive to do so as a positive, and the way to really improve things is by educating people. If we simply dismiss the effort then it's just going to be wasted. If the people organizing get help to steer them in the right direction then there's a chance it'll grow into something better.
