[...] You had a point, Branden (I had to cringe at the onslaught of the "cancel culture" jingle in the answers, though). You seem to prefer to dissipate the point you had instead of accepting a collaboration offer. In a very eloquent and even entertaining way, but alas, effectively nonetheless. I'd agree that the quotes you presented don't seem to deserve to be thrown out. But the path this is taking seems more appropriate to set off a "culture war" worthy of... twitter than to produce any result. So: propose a sketch of a curation process some people can agree on. That's the challenge. Cheers -- t
