I was going to rip this up and then realized that it is quite good. A
safe space is an excuse to serve people as to be guilty without any due
process. In an emergency, and public safety concern, it might be needed
on a temporary bases to prevent immediate harm. In terms of discourse
about Free Software, there is almost no possible case where one can
think of such an urgent need. It is a pretense for Fascism and the
parallel to Musolini that I made earlier continues to stand up.
