Sorry for all those downvotes. I get people dislike Elon right now, and dislike the ban, but you are correct. I wish we would seek understanding instead of trying to… promote misunderstanding and silence people who point it out?


It tells me that I leaned a bit too far into being neutral and wasn’t clear that I think the ban is ridiculous! Good corrective feedback for me.


You shouldn’t need to be clear about that, or worry about being neutral. Don’t let a crowd do your thinking for you.


It’s kind of a philosophical discussion and there’s no clear line, but I do think it’s good to take responsibly for clarity of one’s writing. At some point you can assume the audience (or individuals) are being willfully obtuse, but we’re a long way away from that.
