(4/4) Even if a video remains on our site, it doesn’t mean we endorse/support that viewpoint. There are other aspects of the channel that we’re still evaluating– we’ll be in touch with any further updates.

While I don't agree w/ the decision (mostly b/c it appears it was done in response to pressure), both parties
@gaywonk and@scrowder seem utterly displeased. That is the hallmark of a good compromise. Both sides should stop the playing the victimhood game and move on.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
