This is a statement for the record only, for two reasons:
1) I have no expectation of changing anyone's mind as things stand; 2) I do not have the resources to engage in discussions similar to the ones that this comm has seen recently.
Of the identifiable comments in the recent discussions, the only one you see fit to cite as a problem, and specifically a racialized one, is "This isn't 4chan." That is a mod decision that removes my confidence in the moderators' approach toward the discussions this comm is now hosting and my willingness to engage in such discussions.
I respect the work you have put into this issue, but I will be moving this comm from watched to tracked status, in order to keep an eye out for book recommendations without reading or engaging in the discussions.
