At the risk of also entering this discussion more than I want to
(that is, at all, really), I want to implore you to self-analyze
for a moment in the same way that you challenge your students and
colleagues to do. Look at the tone of your message. Do you see how
if someone sent it to you it would appear sanctimonious? You fire
bullets and then assume martyr status when people fire back. If you
softened your tone and saw the wisdom in others' remarks the way
you do with your students you'd draw more converts. If you're
looking to create change you will see that and do so. If you merely
wish to "stir it up" without really affecting change, then continue
as is.
