Agree.

Agree with everything you say here and in your reply to me, and I am very encouraged by what you have to say, as I have felt recently that this movement is so divided and disorganized that it has little chance to effect change which is the only thing I am interested in.

I would like to bring up one point though, which is that you put some disagreements into the category of personality, and suggest that constant personal attacks are not allowed. The trouble is that if a person dominates discussions,or lets say a particular website, and his theories are the embodiment of everything you disagree with, and they then place themself in the public eye as a leader of the cause you believe in. If they make grandiose undemocratic statements that your movement has to change direction, and promote a new agenda which you disagree with, then you might take the time to focus your efforts on challenging that person's ideas in discussions.

Though you may feel you have 'won' those discussions and shown that the majority of people do not agree with what the person is still saying, if they still continue to dominate the movement and represent their minority view publicly as a leader of the movement , at what point do further comments aimed at that unrepresentative dominance become personal attacks?
