I don't think that anyone that participated in support of this is any less involved or any less concerned about any of our major issues. This argument is quite the red herring.
A red herring is a metaphor for a diversion or distraction from an original objective. In other words, this means it diverts someone from an original, intended goal. That being said, I'm not quite seeing how my opinion is either (A) an argument or (B) a red herring.
I'm also pretty sure that we both read some different communities around LJ, and may have been seeing different discussions regarding the issue. The culmination of everything I read on the topic showed that many of the people vocally and actively involved with the "strike" really did not care about major issues and did care about this one. Alas, many people in this world really don't care about the things that neither affect themselves or those directly related to them. That is what drove my venting my opinion in my journal.
