The premise is that there is a set of acceptable ideas and people who disagree are unwelcome. Obviously people are going to want to talk about specific examples. Half this thread is about Damore, which is directly on point.

I admit that the line is hard to draw and the root comment there had a foot on both sides of it. But we've learned that ideologically inflammatory threads do much better when they stay grounded in the specifics of the current story. If we end up with a bunch of angry flamewars burning in separate places about veganism, Stalinism, etc., all at the same time, that's one of the worst-case scenarios for this forum.
