On the indignant fellow editors over sacking of CAMJ Editors
Mood:  sharp
Moral Indignation and Moral Courage

They all have justified anger, and moral indignation, but not the moral courage to mount an offensive, sustained and strong enough to upturn a power drunk establishment. Otherwise I see no reason how anyone would have the temerity to sack an upright good editor in the first place.

To change things, it is not enough to be indignant. That is easy. It is more important to be courageous, and go the whole hog. Like Nancy Olivieri did.

Moral indignation does not necessarily translate into moral courage. In fact it can be a convenient substitute for one.
