We would still be banning actual fat people under this rule. I am looking mainly to leave alone discussions where people attempt to deny CICO, for example. I think it's mostly harmless and doesn't warrant what I see as an overreaction. As long as the truth is on our side, I wouldn't predict that the attitude would become apologist. The main danger of allowing dissent is just that it's tiring to explain the basics over and over again. I think it was designed to preserve a circlejerk for venting. Still, it is very interesting to see the support for authoritarian policies. Everyone so far seems strongly in favour of it, which I didn't expect. The question now is, if you want authoritarianism, maybe I will be authoritative and ignore what you all want and authoritatively enforce libertarianism!!! Your move ...
