"Foreign Affairs ... will tolerate wide differences of opinion. Its articles will not represent any consensus of beliefs. What is demanded of them is that they shall be competent and well informed, representing honest opinions seriously held and convincingly expressed.... It does not accept responsibility for the views in any articles, signed or unsigned, which appear in its pages. What it does accept is the responsibility for giving them a chance to appear." ~ Archibald Cary Coolidge, Founding Editor, Volume 1, Number 1, September, 1922.

Having just received the latest Foreign Affairs, while scanning the index, I saw the above quote, and thought of FaceBook and it's continuing ban on Trump.

Archibald Cox says it well ... wide diversity of opinion, but with some critical benchmarks: "competent," "well informed," "seriously held," and "convincingly expressed."

I thought about these criteria, and it's clear to me that Trump fails to meet all of them ... I paused at "seriously held," and asked, "Does Trump seriously hold the views he expresses? Does he sincerely believe what he says?"

Perhaps he does, but I suspect most of what he says reflects his desire for power, and a willingness to say and do anything to enhance his hold on the GOP. 

He may well "seriously hold" his views much like some who believe the earth to be flat, or the moon's made of green cheese.

I think FaceBook is right on this one ... though the Oversight Board recommends a thorough review and more clarity.
