We like facts and reliable sources here. While sources like Quora/Reddit/Wikipedia can be great tools for quick searches, we do not allow such user-generated content as primary source. What’s wrong with Wikipedia?

Alas, I see that allergy spreading absolutely everywhere and more and more people calling on book (and author) banning for whatever 'good' reason they may have. That's a dangerous allergy, akin to the allergy to the 'other', that may very well be fatal to any democracy no matter the political side one stands for.
