National Butterfly

Because while I really support not building a wall as an ecological and sociology-cultural travesty, I now have NO warm feelings for you, @NatButterflies. Right up there with Ralph Pastor of Seventh Generation Institute in taking criticism, are you?

We're still struggling to comprehend why we should take the criticism for an employee's vote, which he chose to make public, with regrets; or his op-ed which does not attack any person or group, other than the party he used to support. So, no, not like Pastor Ralph.

Just so we're clear, you are currently taking criticism for inexplicably defending your colleague's freedom of speech and/or making excuses for him with the "everyone knows politicians lie!" line instead of speaking up for the value of the Center and the conservation work.

Had you responded briefly clarifying that he doesn't speak for the organization and immediately redirected the conversation to what's actually important, you'd be getting far more support right now. But go on and die on the hill of "but he's a good guy WHO WAS LIED TO" I guess

The only thing you are accomplishing with this current strategy is conveying that you care more about justifying why Luciano hasn't been fired/isn't REALLY a horrible person than doing anything and everything in your power to rally support for the centre and save it.

I honestly don't understand how you can possibly be oblivious to how awful and callous your organization now looks and how thoroughly you're torpedoing what would have been a solid wave of support from many, many people who might have been on your side and helped you out.

Our organization? Based upon an employee's action as an individual citizen? Seriously?

Holy...have you been reading a single word of what people have been typing, myself included?! YOUR ORGANIZATION LOOKS BAD BASED ON HOW YOU, FROM THIS TWITTER ACCOUNT, HAVE BEEN RESPONDING TO PEOPLE SINCE THE STORY WAS PUBLISHED. CAN I MAKE IT ANY CLEARER?
