Not only are his politics abhorrent, he’s not here to engage in dialogue at all, from what I gleaned from his shit-postings. He’s just a typist with a broadband connection and a Tourette twitch that compels him to type “Marxist” and “Rousseauvian” every 45th and 48th word. Fuck his Charlottesville nazi-coddling and fuck him.

>> 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.
