Reply #57: It is a very specific skill to deflect criticism and to maintain focus on [View All]

your issues. Most of us get to emotionally attached to our work, our cause, our truth. I agree totally saracat. Beve needs to be able to focus on the investigation and let those who are a bit more distant from the nitty gritty and are specifically skilled in PR, the art of persuasion, and the media take this over for her. She also needs a spokesperson to interact with all her supporters--at DU and elsewhere.

I could not take this level of criticism if I were working as hard as I'm sure she is and so personally invested and I doubt anyone here could either. If it manifests in inpatience or anger at supporters, as it appears to have to date, then all the more reason to hire a professional or two--who are not necessarily so vested in the cause.
