This is an interesting observation and a great example of where constructive dialog vs. attacking went a long way toward building better understanding and a team that will work to find common ground. I personally have a lot of serious concerns about this research and most likely might not agree with many of your personal beliefs. I do applaud you approach and am grateful that you took the time to be involved in a constructive manner. Constructive dialog and education will always prove to be more productive than confrontation and divisive political spin.
