That’s a pretty great quote, thanks.

I think there’s a difference between trying to actively quash public opinion and trying to preemptive self-censorship so others don’t think YOU support something, just because you let the opinion exist on your site. I think this is mostly the latter.

I’m not saying this is good or better, mind you. Preemptive self-censorship just means the people/structure aren’t healthy enough to withstand the pressure they fear, or just fear it unreasonably. People in those positions are often chosen/supported exactly because they’ll toe a line.

It’s a problem. I’m just saying it’s a slightly different problem. Maybe less malicious, more insidious and wide ranging. Maybe.

No worry, I didn’t either until it was pointed out to me.

That’s Robert Redford in the film Jeremiah Johnson.

Not “lost” as in “misplaced”, but “lost” as in “missed the opportunity to bring it in, in the future”.

Maybe! But here’s a 45m video that looks at who he was before, and it ain’t all roses. https://youtu.be/28M_zkoAGQM

You’re right. I’d already deleted my older comment. I think I read your initial one in the wrong tone, was all. All good.

I think you made a typo, and meant to say “races”.
