Thanks to social media, anyone can stand on a soapbox and bellow out jaundiced views devoid of rhyme and reason. As long as we have a mobile phone, we can find ourselves under constant bombardment. Greg Tustain thinks it needs to stop. It's not the one-eyed views that worry him. As you will see, he has a few himself. Nor is it the complete absence of reasoning. That’s never troubled him either.
