I don't think that is an elephant in any room. Much written on this & argued for this. But this debate was about academia's involvement.

Agreed not part of this debate. Spiked team choose conference topics to suit their agenda. Role of right wing press is elephant in agenda.

Is it OK with you if people focus on issues other than right-wing causes sometimes? Look at left-wing ones too?

Core Spiked authors are obsessed with attacking left wing issues and ignore or reject any issue that undermines their libertarian agenda.

I don't know that that's true. It was Conatus who introduced me to that & they are Progressive. I am not libertarian.

But even if it was, is it OK with you that a Libertarian group pursue their own political agenda?

Yes fine they promote their agenda. It's just that they are not always transparent about it and they can be very intolerant of other views.

I'm sure you can survive people writing opinion pieces you disagree with.
