Thank you for making this thread, Toe; I really didn't want to open this discussion here, even though I did over on RU.
But, as over on the other site, I get worried about where that puts us. This topic has been discussed on two fronts over on RU, one through EARN IT and the other through the civilian-led #SaveTheChildren, and I fear that this bill will arm up the latter group, which will endanger this site along with many others.
(By the way, for those who have not seen my responses over on the other forum, no, I don't currently plan on leaving. This is a battle I choose to fight, but if worse comes to worst...well, you'll know when that happens.)
