I really don't get it - I do not see what the issue is with directors (or otherwise) expressing a view on politics or whatever. I mean I would not take Andy's political views any more (or less) seriously just because he plays such an important role in CS. I would consider the points he makes and then disagree ( or agree) accordingly.
If there is a fear that a persons views might influence their decisions then surely it is better to know those views to better understand the decision.
With regards my earlier comment about twisting I used 'one' in the first half and 'you/your' in the second but Both were general points - the first we all tend to do - though not always deliberately - and the second is a more limited attribute of a few. There are a number of posters who frequently complain that their right of free speech is being squashed as soon as someone disagrees with their view.
