This seems timely in light of the new "pending comments" system.

What it boils down to, is comments being censored by default, until they're possibly uncensored by group-think. As if the community needed a narrower focus on supporting Basic Income and other misguided but popular ideas.

The effect will be silencing unharmonious views, which seems like something the author of "What You Can't Say" would see. Maybe silencing dissent is the goal here. I don't expect (m)any of my own comments to get uncensored.
