You can't be that naive.
There is a world of difference between "hurting Clark's feelings" and flat out insulting his pride.
Let's not forget that Clark is still a Type A personality with a sizeable ****-off streak. A lot of us on this very board are very similar creatures. If you start preaching at us, we're going to dig in and tell you to get bent.
Would it be a wise decision for Clark to make? No, not at all, but don't think proud men don't make foolish decisions all the time when they have been called out.
Honestly, if you believe the banners in a vacuum are making Clark's decisions for him, then I think you're running a 50/50 gamble on whether or not they push him over the edge or have him dig in his heels.
I personally don't believe the banners are making a difference in a vacuum. Rather I believe the support they are rallying from the press and public is what has truly made the difference. As such, you need to remember your audience and continue to work forward with that in mind.
