Knowing your expressions typically bend toward peacemaking, I am appalled that you stroke Peterson for his "advocacy."
Constructive criticism by stakeholders is valuable, even essential. Peterson's endless carping, meanspeak, distortions, & personal attacks are merely destructive. I don't understand how you could align with his maliciousness.
Peace,
Liz

I heard 4 sources (including NPR) say that trust in fellow humans is fundamental to good mental health.
That fundamental quality seems critical in forming and maintaining solid relationships & community.
Thanks for your advocacy Scott.
