- jessaustin 12y agoI've always had my suspicions about ESR (to be clear I'm now only defending the "Preventing visceral racism" post you link), so I clicked through and... what's the problem? Sure this is a difficult subject, and therefore isn't discussed in "polite company", but that's his blog, so caveat lector. The only "vile" things described therein are ESR's semi-automatic gut reactions. Those might be valid targets for thought policing, but fortunately for society ESR went ahead and policed up himself. His "opinions and / or actions" are totally divorced from those gut reactions. If this topic may not be discussed in this fashion, then it may not be discussed, full stop.
