Stuart—

We’ve been friends and colleagues in AWARE for some time now, and I think you’re making a mistake in suppressing my posts to an AWARE email list, ostensibly to enforce procedural rules that in fact my posts meet (viz., "'peace' is an AWARE mailing list for announcements and calls to action relating to anti-war, anti-racism and other AWARE issues”).

The suspicion arises that my posts (“...rants...”) are being censored because you and others disagree with the content - but isn’t AWARE precisely for the open discussion of  these issues?

Which of my recent "calls to action relating to anti-war, anti-racism and other AWARE issues” do you think justify suppression?  

~ Bennis et al. on identity politics?

~ articles on Antifa?

~ Krugman’s misleading attack on slavery?

I think we contribute to the building of an anti-war movement by encouraging the liberty that the equivocal George Orwell spoke of, in the (suppressed) preface to his 1945 novella 'Animal Farm’: "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.”

Regards, CGE
