Interesting how some leaders are controversial and others not.

[Archaea]

Neal A. Maxwell was not controversial in any manner that I know of. Yet he touched many persons, for his gentleness, he soft-spokenness and his ability to articulate difficult concepts.

Dalin Oaks has the ineviable task of conveying many difficult concepts and usually does well.

OTOH, we had ETB, not while President necessarily except for his women should not work, JFS, BRM and Packer who are quite controversial.

It is strange that some never seem to court controversy, yet some seemt to garner controversy wherever they go.

Maxwell, Nelson, Eyring, McKay, Kimball and the like were rarely involved in controversy. Why?
