The point is, some people read DFP to get information.
I used to think it was no big deal if my DD 3 wore a mask or not. She asked for a mask. We got a crappy mask, and she eventually stopped wearing it. After reading DFP, and the horror stories, we reached an agreement. I would get her a nice new Rip It, and she would wear it. Since then there have been numerous times she was glad to be wearing a mask, and one time she was extremely glad a fielder was wearing a mask.
Somewhere out there is a parent of a 10u or 12u player wondering if his or her DD should wear a mask. That parent reads DFP for advice, and gets informed opinions. Maybe impolite, maybe Alinskyite, but at least informed.
If that parent reads DFP and runs out to get a mask, good. It won't hurt anyone, and might possibly save an injury.
