Isn't "calling them out" anonymously a contradiction in terms? I do understand that if you think the Powers That Be will be squelch those they disfavor, you don’t want to make them angry by naming Clyde Grevitz of the Rural Upstate New York Art Snobbling Council by name and Social Security number as a deserving-squasher. On the other hand, I don’t know what “our certain incorporated non-profit organizations” is meant to tell me, other than that Ron doesn’t like the way someone/thing somewhere is conducting its affairs. I can’t make a point of directing my next multimillion-dollar contribution to someone other than the offending organization if I don’t what it is. And I’m sure Mr. Grevitz and the RUNYASC would assume that the complaints don’t apply to them, since, in their view, they don’t squash anyone, but merely ignore the undeserving.
