The only real disagreeable or condemnable thing I see here is if anyone actually thinks that the 20 letters or so they typed will engender some real change. But there is no evidence that most, or even some, of those involved in this campaign - if we can it like that - make that claim. So for now, I say, just let them be. It's got us talking, hasn't it? Perhaps one or two people will end up contributing somehow as a result of this. And while this for sure is no "genuine social and political change", it is change in at least some minimal sense. I don't see the harm in this, and I certainly don't see how "so much time and effort is wasted" on a benign, if futile, movement like this.
