Nope. 'Charlottesville' was a neo-nazi riot in which a person was 
murdered. That's a good reason to take a side — against neo-nazis. To 
not take a side is, in effect, to condone that murder. I think it's 
reasonable to say that condoning murders, however indirectly, crosses a 
clear line on this list. For that reason, I just flipped the mod switch 
on Bard: his messages will be held for review. He's given us a lot to 
think about lately, so reviewing new ones won't be a high priority.

This decision is mine alone — I haven't talked with Felix about it.

Comments and criticisms are warmly welcome.

Cheers,
Ted
