Understanding that maintaining a constructive discourse is necessary, I’d like to encourage the TLS Chairs to aim to have the least restrictive touch on speech possible, or minimally encourage to hold very swift review of posting if possible. I believe allowing diversity of point of view is a key virtue; throttling conversation (even one strongly disagrees with, perhaps; or otherwise find challenging) can have many inadvertent negative impacts.
