I think that the detox week reeks of the terrible practice of faux "safespaces" and the inclination of technical people to not be as politically involved as they should be and simply deny the importance.

That said, it's not my website and if they want to try this for a week, we can. At the end of the week though, I expect that we'll have a discussion about it and hash out if it was a good decision or not.

(Im really hoping they'll release a list of posts that were flagged as part of political detox, so we can talk explicitly about which parts we think are good or bad to ban.)
