It’s barely tangential to WordPress, which is obstinately what the Tavern is about.

I did want to touch on this bit. WordPress is about publishing. Its mission statement is literally to democratize publishing. We can talk about code, plugins, and themes until we're blue in the face, and we will certainly continue doing so. However, at the heart of all this -- the thing that is the reason why WordPress exists -- always comes down to the freedom to publish content. And, it would be a disservice to our readers to shy away from tough discussions on the subject matter.
