[57north-discuss] 57N taking political positions

[Edward Watson]

Agree with an apolitical stance on Twitter at least. The space is not a
being that can hold political beliefs and is therefore perfect. People are
imperfect and accordingly, political. Iain has mentioned a method to ensure
that any 57N communications on Twitter are attached to a particular
username.  I feel this is the way to do controversial Twitter
communications (if we have to have them).

Cheers
Ed.
