I do not see how one can be fiercely independent from a source but still receive financing from it unless they do not value the financing, which is doubtful if they are accepting it.

Furthermore, Ulema in times past spoke at length about the necessity of keeping oneself independent FINANCIALLY from people so as to be able to enjoin the right and forbid the wrong upon them. The story of the Butcher and the Cat comes to mind.

Regardless, some of the most vocal supporters of the "Radical Middle Way", seem to be quite enraptured by the personalities associated with it as opposed to its work and what it has produced.
