I like a lot of points made in these posts, @geo and @Free. Some valid points there. But what I would like us to try doing, going forward, is leaving the very specific (geo)politics, nation-naming and race discussion out of the picture and focus instead on the general trends and threats that exist to the global internet, and where we - as a community - who value freedom of access, freedom of information and expression, inclusivity and diversity can focus on in a solution-oriented manner.

Maybe the posts should be summarized in a bullet point list to find subjects to evaluate more deeply.
