Let's not be divided in the way they divided us. Before we might be left or right, men or women, artists or engineers, we are people. We are all here looking for community in one way or another. I hope this is or becomes a place where we can start from points of agreement, and if that means abandoning the way issues or ideas have been framed by others, then all the better.

I would love to see more of this, and I think this is a clear statement of the problem.

Thanks! I think there will be more of this. There already are threads on this site about it. One is mentioned by someone else in this thread.

They ban us because we're onto something. If we were just "wrong" it would be a simple matter and everything would be self-evident. But it also then puts it all on us to be civil and to discuss things in good faith.

Your post about boycotts, and how difficult it will be with things like mastercard, is spot-on. I'll be commenting there shortly, I think. Unless it's all been said by someone already.
