See my reply to that other comment. You are essentially acknowledging that you consider certain political opinions (which are, by the way, quite mainstream) to be so reprehensible that you're willing to use 1950s style industry blacklisting to suppress them.

This conduct was unacceptable then and it's unacceptable now. Nobody gave CoC enforcers a monopoly on virtue.

> political opinions

Being hateful and hurting others goes beyond "political opinion".

> which are, by the way, quite mainstream

And, after today, just a little bit less.
