I originally didn't want to get pulled into this discussion, but I had to respond elsewhere, ergo alea iacta est.

> giving a problematic person like Uncle Bob a platform is a political act

If we are talking only about platforming UB's technical opinions, then it's not a political act. Unless you think that everything done in public should be, a priori, considered to be a political act.

I was born in the same country as Kovarex, about the same time ago, and at the time, we lived in a system where everything happening in public sphere was considered a political act. Even lack of participation - you didn't put up a flag or go to a march at certain state holidays, and people would say, he is suspicious, and "politically unreliable" (which would block things like promotions at your job or if your children could study).

It wasn't a society you would want to live in, I guarantee you that. So please, think twice before you call something like that a political act.
