Is it? If the spotlight was already on you, are you saying instead of what you've said here, you would say nothing?
This is the platform where we get to "shoot the ####" and make bold claims about how things should or shouldn't be. I'm sure you're exactly like me in the sense that you probably do not, actually, think anyone actually cares what you have to say, but you still say it, because it's on your mind, or because you think it needs to be said, or you want to be part of a conversation and think you have something worthwhile to add even if no one else thinks so.
Slone's platform is HNIC. Why shouldn't she use it as freely as we use ours, on a topic directly related to what she's paid to cover?
