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.
