[Peace-discuss] Your message to Peace awaits moderator approval

[C G Estabrook]

Stuart--

The antiwar movement hardly suffers from such a surfeit of opportunities for communication and discussion, that we can afford to dismiss some.  

It may be reasonable for AWARE to have two email lists (with different subscriber lists) devoted to divergent if related purposes, but there’s little reason to de-platform people (like me) from these minuscule platforms for posts with the wrong emphasis.
 
Nor has AWARE as a group commissioned anyone to censor the lists for deviations from their supposed purposes. Is it just a way for you to keep from subscribers to the list expressions of opinion that you don’t agree with?

No (even minor) deplatforming. Orwell said long ago, it seems to me rightly, "If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people things they do not want to hear.” 

AWARE should encourage, not restrict, such liberty.

You haven't paid attention to that difference in the past, so I set the peace list so that your submissions to it get moderated.    When they're on-topic for the peace list, including things like the News from Neptune and AoTA weekly announcements, then I try to put them through.
