Outstanding! It takes real courage to expose yourself to criticism or correction, not, may I add, was it needed. Lots of those that were banned had it coming. They went outside the parameters of what the board rules were.
It is an illustration of how resilient the chans are that you are now inviting dissenting voices in a more controlled environment.
I'm sure these voices will bleed back over into the mainstream research thread where they will be welcomed.
This move has also put some babyrubberbumpers on what is acceptable in the main threads.
A win all around, good call. The remedy for censorship is more discussion.
