barrysloateI think Leon is walking a tightrope, and is not in an enviable position.
If he believes in a person, and wants to support him, and by coincidence that person is an advertiser, regardless of his conviction there is going to be the appearance of a conflict. So if I were Leon, I would not hesitate to express an opinion, but maybe take an extra moment to think it all out before I posted. In no way should Leon's feelings be censored, but he has an extra responsibility as board owner; and likewise, he has to understand that because he does accept advertising, he may have to be more careful than others when wording some posts. That just goes with the territory.
