I haven't said I am 'in favour of' anything, Jim, or 'keenly support' anyone; except precise use of language, please ~~ apart from everything else, words used loosely and hyperbolically notoriously lose their effect, which is what has happened to the word 'criminal' as you are using it ~~ it has, in your & your compeers' writing, lost any effectiveness as a precise term & become a mere boo-word.

It is rather harsh to denounce as 'in favour of the status quo' anyone who doesn't actively militate against the present situation. In return, I would suggest it is a bit vain to try and emulate the famous countryman in the old Punch cartoon, who, asked the way, replied "Well, you can't start from here".
