I generally agree - we do want to give people space to privately struggle to reach their professed ideals without risk of public humiliation. But surely that must be balanced with some expectation that a person&#x27;s actions not be in blatant, large-scale contradiction with those ideals. And if you&#x27;re at the point where you&#x27;re preaching asceticism while causing political revolts with your financial excesses, perhaps you&#x27;ve crossed that line.
