If you could cite anything I've written that suggests to you my concerns are either "global" or that my response to his invitation to suggest a first step is a "crusade" I might more easily help clarify your understanding of my perspective.

I am open to understanding the views of those you hold out as a "large number." But I am replying to your request to help you better understand my perspective, not asking for further explanation of your views, which I believe I understand. It's not that I don't understand your view, its just that I don't find it to resolve all of my concerns. If I'm not mistaken, your view is that the number, large or small, that does not enjoy the atmosphere here and that potentially finds administrative style harmful can go somewhere else. If I correctly read the plain language of your comment, theirs, or our concerns at least as I represent them are potentially beyond your understanding. Do you find any further reason to attempt to understand my concerns, or even to articulate them in terms I can verify as an accurate description of my concerns?
