"silly" - "asinine". Whatever. 

Some of us would disagree with your assessment. Some of us would even
think that the ability to organize a trained band would epitomize at
least one facet of leadership. 

Your choice of language, however, diminishes your point. It turns attention
to what appear to be borderline, personal attacks. I'm sure you didn't
mean it to come out that way, but it sure comes across like that.
