Let me begin by saying that I resonate with your concern for peace and reconciliation among Texas Baptists. I was raised the oldest child in a loving Texas Baptist pastor's home, and I was taught to cherish harmony and to try to please everyone. The strife and fighting among us not only are tragic but also personally grievous. Most of us involved in that movement grew closer personally, but for our efforts we received criticism and ridicule from both directions. Still, I would do it again.
Some tenants get angry because of decisions made by the management, and they move out.
Not content merely to leave, they return from time to time, setting fires in an attempt to drive other tenants from the building. Instead of expressing anger and frustration with the people who started the fires or even the management of the building, you criticize the person who reported the fires and identified the arsonists. The fire alarm didn't cause the blaze, nor did it cause the fire to spread. Rather, it focused appropriate attention on the fire so that it could be extinguished before more lives and property were destroyed. Observers from all sides can agree pressures built through the 1960s and '70s before the first blaze erupted in 1979, when so-called conservatives launched their bid to gain control of the Southern Baptist Convention.
