Dear Writers,

Stop using the term "activist investor". It strongly connotes political and social change.

That is not your intent. Find better words.

Sincerely,

It's a term that has been used for a few years. It does not connote political and social change -- you are foisting your narrower understanding of the word 'activist' on to it.
