Regardless of the merits (or lack thereof) of those arguments, in no way
do they affect what goes on on this list that I can see. Can you show
me any instances where I'm incorrect about that?

Steve - Deacon used the phrase "rise of the cancel culture" in his
reply to Patrick's inquiry. The author of the review of that book I
cited carefully discusses the intersection of conflicting views that
eventually result in the refusal to pay attention to any of them under
the guise of some kind of oppression (the need of one side to seize
power over another). IOW, one can't say anything about almost
anything in the public realm nowadays without someone pointing to the
fact that whatever was said is discriminatory in some way against
someone else. These, as the critical reviewer points out, are the
"roots of 'wokeness' ", or a person who is supposedly alert and
sensitive to oppressive statements and has the ability to point out
the errors of others who made the remarks.
I've corresponded off-line with Deacon in the past and have a good
impression of his views and beliefs and that's why I attached that
file - for additional edification on the matter. But we'd better
knock it off or else this thread is going to wind up getting nixed, as
well.

I think he's responding to issues cited in the attached file. I
carefully decided not to follow the threads in the "reparations"
post so I'm not sure exactly what was said that triggered his
withdrawal from the group, but reading the critique will give you
the basic crux of what he's objecting to.

I read the Deacon's blog post last night. This incidentally
is corresponding with my own return to the RBW Owners Bunch
after a couple year hiatus. Something pleasing about reading
his words as some of my first.
But like a lot of Deacon's prose I struggle with his words; I
had to reread it a few times to get some meaning. Any idea
what censorship he is talking about? I don't want to dig up
old wounds just to satisfy my curiosity, so if it's better
left unsaid that is fine. But censorship isn't something I
ever really experienced here and I'm hoping that hasn't
changed in those intervening years.

Note that I didn't in fact direct him to take a look
at the sentiments expressed about him, but simply
said that many had expressed interest and good wishes.
