My Mom, Goddess Bless her soul, 
shares that tragic flaw. Guess what? It's tragic!
She's an activist all over the place, and sure---she's all that,
but it does push everything else away, including her family.

---I agree with you about Webb, but this tragic flaw you mention is not a
---minor one, both for himself and his family.  I think you downplay the
---emotional affects his priorities have on all of his family. This loss
---of perspective on his own part is what makes him such an easy mark,
---and is why his own fellow unionists send him away into the further
---wilderness.
