This gets taken to a particularly bad extreme when people decide it's ok to ignore a cause because of it's supporters when they're not even the ones who benefit. Like saying "I would be vegetarian but PETA are too violent" or "I'd work against global warming but Greenpeace gets on my nerves". The earth did not elect those people as representatives, and taking a stand against smug environmentalists won't save you from flooding.
This is a point with which I very much agree. It's incredibly frustrating. Your earlier point is also good, or perhaps it's in the comments, that sometimes situations is such that the person is not-nice, or being not-nice, and then to have their concerns automatically dismissed is very frustrating. I'd like to think people can listen to the content of someone's concerns even if they don't like the person or the organisation, but I'm not that naive.
I wish I could articulate my thoughts on these issues more coherently. Perhaps I'll give you the gist of my lj posts, you can ghost them for me and then I can post them. You can even work from home!
