John:

If she wants to attach her name to a cause then her behaviours referenced against that cause are relevant. Her personal behaviours otherwise are not and if she had never made a point to label herself an environmentalist her environmental impact would be a non-issue. One need look no further than Barbara's attempt to shut down the California Coastal Records Project by suing them for $50 million in a totally bogus invasion of privacy suit. Why would an "environmentalist" want to do such a thing? She recommends "ordinary people" use recycled content toilet paper, and use it sparingly, yet when she travels she insists on color coordinated super soft toilet paper according to hotel staffers who have waited on her. If she would just shut the fuck up about others individual choices concerning the environment no one will care about her personal carbon-footprint.

[WS:] So by this logic, we should dismiss Das Kapital and communism in general, because Karl Marx was a spiteful prick and a misogynist in his private life, no?
