yes, the tone feels personal, and I feel happy for the author for expressing it on a platform that is desgned for it.

He is clear in pointing out the hard earned lessons we have learned before and how the current actions are essentially undermining it. This is dumb (i agree) and he expects better from people whom he respects.

it's clear, personal, logical. I don't understand what your criticism is.

It sounds like you know a lot more about him and the context than I do, the angle I am coming from is mass audience. This reached far, to the point I have no clue who he is and what else is going on. That’s why sometimes messages like those can be misunderstood, so I like to err on the side of caution over personal. Didn’t mean to say personal = bad, but that if you wish to change a broad status quo and raise awareness then communication is tricky!
