We did have some discussion previously, not specifically about blacking out the site, but about the issue generally. My position, there, was that LW is not a place for political issues no matter how much we’re all in agreement on them. “Our kind” should co-operate on such issues but I don’t think this is the place to coordinate that; I think there do exist plenty of other places that can serve as well for that, I think that what is here is valuable, and I think that adding politics to the mix risks disturbing it.
