Allan may have really really needed that job--and jobs are scarce these days.
If we all owned our own farms and were independently wealthy, this would be less of an issue. I also wonder about those on the listserve who are in other countries with less "freedom" than we have in the U.S. and whether this may affect them. I prefer to choose my battles and not have them thrust upon me unawares and unprepared--especially when they endanger my ability to make a living. If you've ever been discriminated against in a job, or in trying to get a job, I hope you would understand. Goethe kept his occult life and professional life separate. So did the ancient Chinese--legalist or Confucianist by day and Buddhist or Taoist once you were home. Having his personal views posted publicly and be used against him, denies Allan the opportunity to practice the Mahayana Buddhist concept of upaya--meeting people where they are at. He could have quietly transformed that entire organization by his presence there and working there without ever discussing his spiritual/personal ideas.
