I am considering putting a formal statement of sorts on the QYN thread, were they are acting very indignant about the upset over this.
I'd like to address the core issues with their actions and explain exactly why everyone is so very upset by this. I'm drained from fighting the wank live, so I'd appreciate a more experienced hand weighing in. Ideally we should also recognise that the core fault here is not malicious, but rather one of naivety - a lack of experience and knowledge. I doubt they know about the history of liberation campaigning and No Platform policies.
It should also be framed around how the core concept is nice, but nowhere near enough steps have been taken for this to be at all valid.

Can we draft a statement?
