I don't agree with your assessment about Sam and the way some "small but vocal" exmembers view him. You have a way of presenting things in such a light that is not always quite accurate. I don't think Sam is the only one "against" TF. Who is "for" TF? What does that mean? Are you saying it's bad to be "against" TF? Nor is Sam any great leader to anyone. He pretty much works on his own. How does that make him any kind of leader? I don't know any exmembers that are looking for a leader again. Or maybe I'm in the wrong circle. I also don't know anyone that agrees in totality of the way Sam does things and hence, he works on his own. This also doesn't make everything he does bad. He's made mistakes, but he's also done a lot of good. TF is scared of him, and I for one am glad for that.
I think the solution for Sam would be to work like any newspaper or media organization, with a disclaimer or disclosure statement, that all emails and correspondence with him is treated as his intellectual property (or whatever term they use) for his use and that way, no one would correspond or write to him unless they wanted it to be public. If you write a letter to the editor, it's the same and you have to use a real email address and real legal name. Whatever you write, becomes their property. I realize our subject is a lot more sensitive, but Sam is no priest to confess to. He's on a mission and if you don't want to be a part of that mission, don't talk to him. That would be like talking to a journalist or news reporter on a mission to uncover some story.
I think the questions Jo asked of Sam and the way she presented it was real good and I would like to see his answers. Also, I think Sam gets misrepresented a lot and that's why you see a vocal minority because I for one like to always present another side as I believe there are usually two sides to every story. Now if you classify me as thinking he can do no wrong because of that - you have a pretty black and white world.
