Dear George, I don't see how to the moment, since they object to open debate and critical inquiry; and very few people seem to support this with enough force. So it means retreating to what this group finds unobjectionable, and accepting self-censorship, which I don't feel I can do. To be honest, FB was taking too much of my time, and the only reason I stayed was the quality of my audience But then FB forbade to do any crossposting and responding to requests in other groups, then reduced my audience by two-thirds. When on top of that I discover that a strong and vocal minority opposes open inquiry and normalizes racism, it really stops me in my tracks. And you have only seen half of it, because on top of it, the private mails exhorting me to 'choose sides or else', having coming in as well (as well as supportive emails such as yours), but the public support on the site itself has been underwhelming. Right now, I am wounded emotionally, meaning that everytime I go back, it just re-opens it, so for sure, I need to get away at least for some time. But in all likelyhood, I will look for another medium, with more filtering capacity. Michel < Your service is too precious to the community.

dear friends,

I am leaving FB for a as yet indeterminate period of time,

This almost means that my curation duties are hold, since I have no ready alternative. The reasons for my departure are not technical but have to do with a unfortunate polarisation on the p2p foundation's fb group, that I have been unable to steer in a positive momentum,

Michel
