I hope that everyone understands the very difficult position the entire site staff is in right now in finding balance between not submitting to the hysterical and systematic persecution of opposition thought that is occurring in this country , while likewise recognizing that the threat is genuine.
Not everyone is going to agree with how we do things, but I'll live with that if it realizes the goal of protecting this community as the precious resource that it is right now.
Thanks for all the time and effort that you and your fellow moderators are investing to keep discussion alive here as well as preventing outside actors from hijacking, undercutting, or sabotaging the ethos of this web forum.
