I can't speak for Scott, but on STRIDE's home page, there is a photo of the
Access Project's Tom Johnson doctored up to look like the devil
(http://www.stride-mn.org/).

...yes, please provide those specific quotes. But even if the Access Project
folks have figuratively demonized people, STRIDE has done it literally.

While opinions of STRIDE's principles, goals and strategies differ, saying
that they demonize people appears unarguable.
