In retrospect I can see that using full names was not the best choice. My apologies for this, I really hadn’t considered whether this would be a problem. Moderators, please remove all full names.

However, I don’t apologize for anything else from the original post. To repeat, in brief: I enjoy reading alternate viewpoints on social media, and welcome a healthy, spirited discussion. I believe that any ‘blocking’ or ‘deleting’ of opposing viewpoints indicates a lack of respect for the free exchange of ideas, and reinforces the ideological confirmation bias which is creating a falsely polarized representation of the American political climate. I personally find this distasteful, to a degree which necessitates strong language. I’m not sorry for this, and I’d do it again.
