I just did read up on neutrality as a core principle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view, and I appreciate you pointing it out, Tilman. It's a great point to keep in mind, and I agree this tweet shouldn't go out.
I'm grateful for this email list because we can constructively point out where social media proposals may be ill-advised without any chilling effect or punitive tone. We need the free flow of ideas, and the responses that make them better.
